The Prayer of waiting on God (Practicing His Presence/Soaking)
Closely associated with the prayer of praise and worship is the prayer of waiting upon God.
Like praise and worship, there are many layers to this prayer. In the busy world we live in it is easy to fail to practice this kind of prayer.We have grown so accustomed to 'microwave' results that often we fail
to understand that God's schedule is often less hurried than our own.
We get busy with the work of ministry, whether in the church or
marketplace, the demands of family life etc, yet fail to stop and
listen.
We then wonder why we feel so tired?!
Isaiah says:
"But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."
(Is 40:31 NKJV)
In this form of prayer we cease from our own works and wait upon God.
