In reflection and connection to the recent teaching on prayer, waiting is what you do after you have prayed. In this teaching, Patrick Mbugua helps us discover what waiting on the Lord looks like and what our response needs to be. Waiting can move one from despondency and hopelessness to a place of assurance and confidence in the Lord. What you do in the waiting is key to the person you become.
