What does the Bible say about waiting for the Lord?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible emphasizes the importance of waiting on the Lord for His salvation and answers to prayer, as noted in Lamentations 3:26.
Lamentations 3:26 teaches that it is good for a man to hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. This notion of waiting is not passive but is a form of active prayer and perseverance. The apostle Paul encourages believers to pray always in the Spirit, which includes a disposition of hopeful waiting. When believers present their petitions, they must maintain a spirit of patience, trusting in God's perfect timing for answers. A lack of this holy patience can lead many to miss the blessings they seek.
