Four hundred years pass
between Old and New Testaments. I’m sure more than a few prayers went up to the
Lord in those years wondering what was going on. They were probably similar to
many of our prayers.
I need more patience?
What am I waiting for?
Are you listening Lord?
How long?
It would be really nice
if…
Things have gotten pretty
rough down here.
Do you care?
I’ve been praying!
If you…then I’ll…
It’s hard Lord to not get
distracted or discouraged.
Couldn’t you do something
to change this?
I’m so weary and
exhausted…
You did it for …why can’t
you do it for me?
What are you teaching me
in this?
Can’t you see people
laughing, mocking, scoffing?
And then in the fullness
of time, Emmanuel, God with us, broke into those prayers providing the yes and
amen to all of God’s promises. Jesus is still Emmanuel and still in the
business of bringing his very person into the midst of our prayers.
Heartaches. Sorrows.
Illness. Longings. Anxieties. Questions and doubts. Confusion. Weariness.
Whatever your concerns are this Christmas, know that
Jesus Emmanuel is waiting and His timing is perfect. When he breaks into the
world and into your life he brings light and life. He wants to proclaim peace
and joy over your life as you learn to rest in him.
