Have you ever given much thought to the kind of God to whom you are offering your prayers? Is your image of God as One who is impatient with you; unkind to you; uncaring for you; unloving to you?
When we pray, it is important to remind ourselves of the character of God. The God of the Bible tells us that He is longsuffering and patient with us. He lavishes His loving kindness upon us. He cares for us like no one else and He loves us with an everlasting love.
When we pray it is important for us to remember that God is good—all of the time—even when life is challenging, and at times, seems utterly hopeless. King David went through a period in his own life where he found himself in a pit of destruction, trapped in miry clay. And according to Psalm 40:1, David “waited patiently for the Lord” to work a miracle in his life.
How about you? Are you able and willing to wait patiently for the Lord to move in your life? As you wait, do you trust in the character of God? If you would like to go a little bit deeper into this subject of prayer, you will find some new entries concerning four more principles of Psalms of Discipleship.
Praying as I trust in the character of our Great God,
Denny
