Psalm 37:3-7  (New Living Translation) 

                Trust in the Lord and do good.
      Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
      and he will give you your heart’s desires.

5 Commit everything you do to the Lord.
      Trust him, and he will help you.
6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
      and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
      and wait patiently for him to act.
   Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
      or fret about their wicked schemes.

Trust and then trust some more!  Keep on living for God!  Wait patiently for Him to move at the “right” time!  But you (and me to) are saying, “But, Lord, I have prayed about this for many years and nothing is happening, so I am thinking  you aren’t listening to me” Does this sound about normal?  It’s hard for all of us to give everything to the Lord, and then believe He is working all this out, because we don’t “see” anything happening. Do you realize how many people may be involved with this one particular person we are praying for? What all has to be in place for it to be the right time for God to move?  We don’t have a clue, we just want things done yesterday!  God promises if wait for His timing He will honor us ( read 1Peter:5:6)  If we can just be patient, steadily doing the work God has given to us to do and let Him choose the time to change these things, then we will see the mighty Hand of God move. Go back up and read the scriptures again, memorize them and claim them. If you are a child of God, then they are for you! God Bless you!
