Worship More and Worry Less: 30 Days of Praiseنموونە

Life's waiting rooms are hard. Some of us have been waiting for our dream to come true. We’re waiting for Mr. Right to show up, the cancer to be gone, or a baby to fill empty arms.

I've learned when heartaches like these come our way, rather than praying for patience, it's good to pray for perspective. Eternal perspective. This life is but a blimp on the map of eternity. We need to pray for eternal vision.

The need for patience can sprout up in the daily, non-earth-shattering moments too--not only the heavy-hearted waiting rooms. Whether stuck in traffic or waiting for your husband to finish a project started four years ago, patience is needed. Praying for an eternal perspective can help usher in peace as you wait.

This question helps put everything in perspective: When you’re standing in front of Jesus, will it matter? Pray for eyes to see how God sees and choose to praise Him with your whole heart, especially in the waiting room.
