God reveals himself to us in little ways and gives us time to respond. He uses everything for our good, even the times of waiting. It’s like waiting during pregnancy when we anticipate a new life to be born. This is the microcosm of our life. What are you currently waiting for: Hope, patience, community, peace? We are assured that we are not alone in the waiting, we are loved.
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
