Genesis Promise Project

You may be praying for something right now. You may be weary from asking, wondering if that prayer will ever be answered. Your prayer may be for healing, a prodigal, someone’s salvation, or maybe it is just for something your soul desires.

Waiting is hard. You see the prayers of others being answered, you begin to doubt God, and you begin to believe it’s just you. Maybe you feel underserving like God’s mercy has run out for you because you just can’t seem to get yourself together. That’s how I felt. For at least four years, I have been specifically praying that God would allow me to care for another horse. I began to give up. I had almost succumbed to the fact that I had just done too much for Him to grant the desires of my heart again. Or maybe it just wasn’t His will.

I hadn’t. It just wasn’t the right time nor the right horse. Through this, I have learned for sure, that He is a God of mercy, grace, and forgiveness. He absolutely cares about the desires of our hearts. He wants nothing but good for us. We just have to be willing to be patient and trust Him even when it’s a hard thing to do. Keep praying, no matter how long it may take.

“Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them, But when they cried to You in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.” Nehemiah 9:27
