God, Help us Persevere

"But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

This is God's promise to us.

God promises supernatural staying power and stamina.

Believers who depend on the Lord can persevere long.

Wait on the Lord

Sometimes we feel that God has let us download because He doesn't provide an immediate answer to our prayer.

But waiting for the Lord can transform us into a people of growing faith.

King David spent years waiting to be crowded king and fleeing from Saul's wrath.

He grew into "a man after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22).

When we become frustrated with God's apparent delay in answering our prayer, let us remember that God is interested in developing faith and perseverance in our character.—James 1:2-4

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Wait on the Lord!
