Your transaction is being processed. Please wait!
A Lesson From the ATM
Yesterday I was at the ATM to get some cash because I dearly needed money.
As I started to transact, the ATM showed me an inscription which said; Please insert your card.
I did.
And then another message popped up – Please enter your pin code
I did.
And then another message came… select the amount,
I did that too.
After I had done all this, the ATM showed me a message in BOLD letters…
YOUR TRANSACTION IS BEING PROCESSED, PLEASE WAIT!
Allow me to say this: when you have done all the things you can, you have prayed, you have fasted, you have even asked others to pray with you and for you but it seems as if nothing is happening in your life, wait patiently don’t give up, don’t move because your request is being processed.
WAIT!
Let me tell you, what made me wait is because my card was already in the ATM, I had already entered my pin code.
If I give up now and walk away, Lord have Mercy… The next person will get all that I had requested.
Not because your messages aren’t heard, not because your prayers are irrelevant, not because your fasting is meaningless..but because
YOUR TRANSACTION IS BEING PROCESSED
*Wait and murmur not. Do not think you were born to suffer*
*Your prayers are being processed so Wait upon the Lord*
I Know it’s not easy but I encourage you to WAIT patiently…
As it is in – Isaiah 40:31
*But they who wait for 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.*
YOUR TRANSACTION IS BEING PROCESSED. PLEASE WAIT.

Beautiful way to explain!! Prayers are listened but it’s the matter of how much we trust god’s instincts

I love this analogy. Patience is always the key when it comes to waiting for prayers to be answered.
