Waiting patiently for the Lord

Author:  |   |  No Comments | 

I waited patiently for the LORD;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
(Psalm 40:1 ESV)

I'm not sure that I do a very good job of waiting patiently for the Lord. I have a tendency to be really impatient with God. I want Him to do His work immediately. I wonder how many times I cry out to God and he hears my cry but I've already moved on before I even take time to wait for Him to answer. Anyone else struggle with this?
