Most people don't like to wait. In fact we hate waiting specially when we run out of time. Waiting is boring us. Waiting makes us stagnant. Common practices we encounter of waiting is when we ask something from God. From the christian view of waiting, we associate this as something God answers us in two ways- Yes or No. But the truth is God never reject us in our prayer. >Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. He said in His word that He will answer us. It is just a matter of YES and WAIT. Yes, because we deserve it. Wait, because He has something greater to offer you and He is preparing for it to give to you. So while we are waiting there are 5 things God wants us to realize to do. # 1. Keep on praying <center><br/>[Image Source](https://www.files.wordpress.com)[](https://scottmasters.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/prayer.jpg)<br/></center> Do not worry about anything instead pray about everything. God does not wants us to be stagnant in faith. He wants us to believe that there is power in prayer. >1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV) Pray without ceasing. # 2. Keep on seeking <center> <br/>[Image Source](http://www.amazonaws.com)[](http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/sb-web/saddleback.com/connect/ministry/women/DanielPlan.jpg)<br/></center> >According to Matthew 7:7 (KJV) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. God wants us to depend on Him always. He wants us to always seek Him and call Him. He wants us to develop the habbit of being prayerful. # 3. Keep on serving <center><br/>[Image Source](http://www.myworshiptimes22.com)[](http://jeffersonville.myworshiptimes22.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/97/2014/09/servehimhands311.jpg)<br/></center> One thing that dulls our faith is because we think we are rejected by God in our prayers. We tend to stop the usual thing of praising and serving God. We tend to forget the sabbath day. We tend to forget our responsibility to God. >The bible reminds us in Romans 12:11 (KJV) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; # 4. Keep on sowing <center><br/>[Image Source](https://www.dinheirorural.com.br)[](https://www.dinheirorural.com.br/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/11/76-1.jpg)<br/></center> >Ecclesiastes 11:6 (KJV) In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. What is it all about? Remember to inspire and give hopes to people who are in need of God's word. God will be happier if many of us would come to Him and serve Him. # 5. Keep on believing <center><br/>[Image Source](http://www.sam-thiara.com)[](http://www.sam-thiara.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/belief-faith-wisdom.jpg)<br/></center> >2 Timothy 3:14 (KJV) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; God molds you to who you become today. He showed wonders and mighty things you never expected and believed to be true. Put to example the heavenly bodies. Who holds them in space? The air that you breath. The trees that brings fruit to this land. Who produces them? Come to think of it. Hold fast to what is true and what you believe. Be more active about your faith. Pray, seek, serve, sow and believe!
