Read recently on Facebook:


Do not abandon the mercy-seat for any reason whatever. If it be a good thing that you have been asking for, and you are sure it is according to the divine will, if the vision tarry wait for it, pray, weep, entreat, wrestle, agonise till you get that which you are praying for. -Charles Spurgeon





There are times I struggle and grow impatient. I want to give up. These words encourage me: God isn't giving up. There is a reason that I/we must wait.


There are days I feel exhausted from the struggle to hold on. From the literal wrestling I do in the spiritual realm with God over what I know to be true and good. To cling to the promise of God for Hope.


And in the end, it will be worth the praying, weeping, entreating, wrestling and agonizing. For I have done, and continue to do, all of those.
