Continuing to Wait

“I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me and heard my cry.” Psalm 40:1 ESV
Waiting is hard for everyone. In His wisdom, the Lord makes different people wait different lengths of time for different answers. In this week’s lessons, there were many different examples of people who waited for God to answer their prayers, as well as examples of how God showed patience in His waiting. Ask your children about those they learned about who had to wait, and then tell them about a time in your life when you had to wait. Maybe the Lord answered your prayer, or maybe you are still waiting for that answer. Either way, it can be a great example of waiting for your child to see from one of the people they love most!
