waiting for You

Tonight a group from Immanuel Fellowship got together to pray about prayer. That sounds a little funny, but it's because we are having forty days of around the clock prayer later this summer. So the prayer tonight is also a time of listening to God for ideas on how He would like us to do a time of 24/7 prayer. As with any conversation listening requires one to wait for the other to talk. God was showing me some of what it is to wait for Him to speak while we were praying. Waiting can be agonizing. However, if I really want to hear what God has to say I won't mind too much. Any amount of waiting would be worth it. I was struck by how much I don't listen. Is God not Holy? Why then do I wait only when I want something? Why don't I wait listening just because He's God? He's God who created the whole universe and died to have a relationship with me that would save me from an eternal death. Doesn't He deserve to be waited upon? Why do I act like He should cater to me by speaking during the few hurried moments that I'm willing to give? Do I even begin to see God for who He is? God help me give You more of the honor You deserve....
