Katie's prayer: Andy Cloninger's "We Are Waiting"

I’m calling out Your name
Jesus
We are waiting


I feel like so much of my life is like these lyrics. Crying out to God and then just waiting for Him to come fix my life. Sometimes I feel like I wait forever. It gets kinda disheartening at times. As I’m thinking and praying about this, I’m reminded about something I read two days ago. I’m in the middle of No Wonder They Call It the Real Presence by David Pearson. It’s all about lives that have been changed through frequent Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The chapter I read the other day, this dude journals during part of his Adoration time. He says he sticks with it because he can easily go back and see that God has truly answered his prayers. A lot of times, in ways he never expected, but he can see from this vantage point that God’s way really was the best way. So I’m going to spend my evening going back and reading some of my prayer journal entries and see how God has truly worked in my life. Thank you Jesus for all that you have done for me in the past and all you will continue to do for me. Help me to see at times like this when I feel like I’ve been waiting forever that You really will answer my prayers eventually. Amen.
