Many things simply have to play out.
It is the flesh that demands a resolution now.
Prayer brings to light things that would otherwise remain cloaked, and, rarely does the Lord do it instantly.
We live in the parenthesis of time, but we do not understand it even though we are familiar with it. We seem to crave control in the form of having to see how the matter will resolve and at that, according to our tiny realm of experience.
If I pray for patience, I will not see a patient woman in the mirror tomorrow morning. Rather, the Lord will grant me the privilege of going through something that is almost unbearable to the flesh, allowing me the opportunity to come before Him and wait on Him.
By yielding to Him in the matter of Time, we who are His can taste eternity now.
Tell Him.
Aloud.
