All of us one time or the other have prayed and asked God for something and have had to wait on the answer. Waiting is one of life's most difficult tasks. The waiting room is a land where time stands still; it seems as if progress has come to a screeching halt.

We live in a society where everything is instant. We have become a society where delays are not accepted or tolerated. (We wait when in hospital, on ATM machine etc) Most of us are waiting for something and it could be; 1. Waiting and hoping that conditions will change for the better. 2. Maybe ...read more

DO NOT BE ANXIOUS. Luke 12:22-31. LUKE 12:22. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate translation (Matthew 6:25).
