Practicing Patience When God Has You Waiting
Some days, it is a lot harder to be patient. When we’re bringing our concerns to the Lord again and again, we grow tired of waiting. It soon begins to feel like our prayers are falling on deaf ears.

On these days, let these reminders on the nature of patience be an encouragement to you as you continue to wait. Read the full article.
Take action: If it feels like God isn’t listening anymore when you pray, you might want to try our free online interactive study, “Why Doesn’t God Answer my Prayer?”

A thorn in my flesh that has allowed me to humble myself in ways that only He could do.” Join the conversation on the daily men’s devotional and women’s devotional!

On the devotional blog: Feeding Your Spirit

Coming up next week: The questions for discussion are If those who know you best gave you one piece of advice, what would they say? Would they be right? What will you do about it? Join us in the chat room February 1st, 2009 @ 12:15 pm EST (See also our full chat calendar.)
