God’s Part:
He’s listening
He’s watching
He’s working
He sees you
He hears you
He knows your heart
He knows what you’re thinking
How you’re feeling
How things will work out
He is watching over His word to perform it
He will turn evil to good for your sake
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
He will repay evil
He will vindicate you
He will recompense you
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. Psalm 34:15
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Lamentations 3:25
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good
Genesis 50:20a
Your part:
Have faith, believe
Humility before Him
Pray according to His will
Pray His word
The fervent effectual prayer of the righteous avails much
With clean hands and a pure heart
The prayer request brought before Him with His will in mind
is what He is looking for
Make sure your intentions are for His glory,
to lift Him up for all to see
Otherwise, your heart is not pure
Have no ought with your brother
Only forgiveness inside
No ill thoughts toward anyone
that is, praying that they will come to the realization that He is God,
Whatever that means for them
They may reject Him, they may accept Him
When the disciples were angry with the crowd,
They asked, “Lord, shall we call down fire from heaven on them?”
He rebuked them: You know not what spirit you are of
Love your enemies
Carry your burdens to lay at His altar, at His feet,
Trust the Holy Spirit to deliver to God your petitions
