Hope and Wait Eagerly

“For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?  But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.”  
Romans 8:24-25.

I believe God hears and will answer my prayers.  Yes, I do see some immediate answers, but for some answers I have waited a long time.  I do not lose hope for those people in my life for who I pray.  Even if the hope I have for them is dashed again and again, I know that God is mightier than any device of evil that Satan has or will create, and that God will prevail in the end. 

I pray for those who suffer.  The world is fraught with evil.  People around the world suffer unspeakable horrors at the hands of evil governments, rogue armies, false spiritual leaders and evil people.  For those who suffer I pray for deliverance. 

And, I hope and wait eagerly.
