Waiting for the Lord 2


“I wait for the LORD, my soul waits and I hope for his word. My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak. More than sentinels for daybreak," (Psalm 130: 5 - 6)

How long can we wait for the Lord to answer our prayer?  The scriptures below are very revealing.  In summary, they say that we wait until the Lord answers.
a.       Wait for the Lord (Psalm 27: 14; 37:34)
-          Wait patiently for him (Psalm 37: 7)

b.      I wait for you (Psalm 25: 21)
