Waiting Expectantly

**Joyce Meyer

Have you been praying about a situation in your life and found yourself waiting for a breakthrough? Are you wondering why the answer has not come yet? Do you feel as though victory is passing you by?

Sometimes when we pray long and hard about a situation in our life without receiving any answers, we just learn to live with it. We go on about our business, wondering if or when God will send the answer. But God does hear those prayers, and He has working out the answers even though we may not know all the details. Our situation can change suddenly, quickly, without warning!

Until then we can either wait passively or expectantly. A passive person gives up, but the expectant person, on the other hand, is hopeful, believing the answer is just around the corner, due to arrive any minute. His belief is not a passive thing. His heart is full of hope, expecting his problem to be solved at any moment. He wakes up every morning expecting to find his answer. He may wait and wait, but he will keep asking until suddenly, God turns everything around.

Prayer starter: God, I want to wait expectantly, not passively. I will keep asking You for my breakthrough, knowing full well that You will bring it at the right time.

Matthew 7:7

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
