[marriagerestoration] Digest Today : Waiting In Expectation

"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. " (Psalms 5:3).

The love of your life has decided he/she no longer wants this marriage. You have been seeking the Lord for answers. You have been crying out to God. You have complained to just about anyone who would listen. Again, you have sought the Lord and NOW you are
waiting in expectation for God to work on your behalf.

My friends, I want to tell you that God has heard your prayers. He has heard your pleas. He is God and His ears are not closed to your cry.

What an assurance to know that the Lord hears the prayers of His children. David expressed this assurance by proclaiming "you hear my voice." This assurance brings
confidence and peace and it is significant that we can have this assurance early in the morning as we
begin a new day. God does not respond to our voice in the manner in which we are typically accustomed. It is by faith that we have this assurance and know that He hears us.

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6).

We lay our requests before God. The apostle Paul wrote, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6).

These requests are a part of the human condition and keep us dependent upon God and remind us that He is our Source. Among the fundamental aspects of sin is the failure to recognize that God is always the Source upon which we should rely.

I find the last phrase in the Psalm verse particularly
helpful. I believe it reflects the right attitude in prayer -
Waiting in expectation. There is a waiting aspect. We are in God's Waiting Room.

Sometimes the wait is short, many other times it is long. But we wait in expectation. That's faith. We believe in the great promises of God to act on our behalf for that which is for our good and for that which brings Him glory. So today I encourage you to keep on believing, keep on praying, keep on obeying, keep on expecting.

My friends, if you are waiting for restoration and you have reached that place where you can tell God that all you need is HIM ONLY. If you can say "HE IS ALL I NEED." If you can tell God that He is ENOUGH for you at this time. If you can say this with all sincerity,then you are ready for restoration. Our God is a jealous God. If
you can reach at that place where nothing matters, you are certainly ready for restoration.

Please my friends, hear what I am saying, PUT GOD FIRST and prepare yourselves for a healed and a restored marriage.

Be encouraged
