Waiting for God

by Juanita Ryan

Published 2 January 2013
How is it possible to meet God in our times of waiting? How do we meet God when he seems unresponsive to our desperate need? The God of the Bible is the God who has promised to always be with us. Always. Even in our times of waiting. Even when our situation is desperate or our heart is full of anxiety. These studies are designed to help you give voice to your distress and gain perspective on your fears in times of waiting, and to open your heart and mind to the one who is with you always.

The way we think and feel about ourselves is one of the most important things about us - affecting our peace of mind, our creativity and our ability to engage meaningfully in the world. Perhaps most importantly, it impacts our relationships with others, including our relationship with God. These eight studies are designed to help us take a transforming look at some key aspects of our self-image under the clear reflection of God's love.

In the intense language of poetry, the Psalms address God with frankness and urgency. They give voice to our inner turmoil. They teach us to talk to God about life's deepest needs and longings with childlike vulnerability and spontaneity. Our fears, our hopes, our joys, our anger, our longings, our gratitude, our doubts, our worship - all find full expression here. Exploring the Psalms can bring new depth and vitality to our relationship with God.
