Waiting for a Divine Blessing
Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Psalm 143:7-10

2 - Reflect
Many times we use our time with Christ, that is to say, prayer, to ask our Father for a series of requests that without His help would be impossible to achieve. It is then that in those moments we have a greatly cultivated and strengthened Faith, since we deposit our desire in Christ, blindly trusting that He will make the impossible happen, that what we seek will undoubtedly be carried out.
This act speaks volumes, revealing the amazing power that lies behind a Faith built on a strong foundation, but what happens when, having made the request to our Father, we do not have the patience to wait for Christ's timing? What is it that causes us to lose patience in waiting for God's timing and His way of acting?
This is something important to meditate on: Asking for the Holy intercession also implies to be subject to the times that Jesus creates convenient and in the way that He also creates it, let us remember that everything that we see as a setback, is easily a hidden message that the Lord wants to send us, a way for us to come even closer to His side to listen to what He has to tell us.
