Waiting for God

The hardest part about faith is that it is just that - faith - nothing concrete, nothing "there" to focus on, to see. Faith is believing in that which we cannot see, hear, touch or sense in any normal way. Thus, if we have prayed to God to provide us with a solution, we must have faith that He will provide it, for that is what He promises in His word. Of course we have to do what we can from our side - we do the possible, God deals with the impossible. Two thing that are hard, for me especially, to remember are this: 1, even though we do what we can, we still only do it through God's grace and power, thus He must get all the credit, and 2, God will do the rest IN HIS TIME, which usually has NOTHING to do with our concept of time. I am usually stressed and in a semi-panic when God puts His hand on my shoulder and says (I imagine with a slight smile on His face) "What are you worried about, don't you trust me - see, here is the solution."
