"We have waited for Thee." This ever accompanies true prayer. The
believer looks for the blessing he has asked. It implies, 1. _Faith._
That God hears. Faith has a very close relation to prayer.
2. _Expectation._ There may be degrees of confidence, but there must
be more or less of expectancy. The sailor's mother watches at the
window for the ship in which her son is coming. 3. _Patience._ Wait
God's time. Until His end is accomplished. Thus let the Church wait
for the coming of Christ, which will be full salvation.
May we know by experience the blessedness of knowing God in time of
trouble! Blessed is the people that is in such a case. Come and enjoy
this blessedness. Decide for the Lord Jesus Christ. The world is
insufficient. Renounce it.--_J. Rawlinson._
