Prayer is waiting on God with our heartfelt desires.
But prayer has another waiting. It is to use our waiting moments to pray.
Consider how often we wait in life (go on, track your day). Waiting for a bus or train. Waiting in a queue. Waiting for people.
Waiting moments are often wasted moments. We sink into a semi-comatose state of mental nothingness. Or worse, waiting moments become frustration moments. Our patience is tested, blood pressure arises and we became angry at that or those who make us wait.
Why not cultivate the habit of making waiting moments praying moments?
Carry a prayer list on a notepad, electronic gadget or in your head. When its clear that this is a waiting moment, make it a praying moment.
Consider the outcomes: time well-used rather than wasted; praying ministry conducted; frustration avoided.
