How Still Should One Be???

I know I have not blogged in a long time, I am sorry. So figured I would throw something new and see what YOU have to say.

I have had something important in prayer for about 9-10months now. I get a yes answer from God. But when I ask when, he just says be patient, still, relax. Don’t worry about what it is that is in prayer some of you know what it is, what matters is how still should one be? I mean God does require that we do certain things for example if you pray for patience you get the opportunity to have patience. So when God says to you be still and know that I am God, when he says did I not tell you if you believe you will see my glory, when he says why do you worry, did I not say have faith. These are obviously not direct quotes but are the scriptures God has thrown in my face time and time again over the last few months regarding my prayer. But my question still remains how still does one have to be? I know for a fact that I am not still enough as a close friend proved to me last week. As every time I am not still enough I seem to mess things up a bit. So you tell me how still should one be when God says BE STILL.


God bless you guys always,

Faith

its 11:20pm 8-2-08 Saturday. About one hour ago I was praying and asking God for a word of encouragement for a little situation I am dealing with some of you know it. I asked God to give me the word he wanted me to have. So after I was done praying I grabbed my bible and blindly opened it up to 2Chronicles 32:7-8 7 “Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is a power far greater on our side! 8 He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” Hezekiah’s words greatly encouraged the people.

then shortly after i signed on to my myspace account and someone because of an old word of the day i had done a day or two ago messaged me saying the following

"WHEN we speak of faith we think of one’s belief in God. The apostle Paul, in describing faith to Hebrew Christians, said: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Heb. 11:1) An assured expectation has something backing it up. It conveys the idea that this expectation is guaranteed, that there will be a future possession. Some suggest that faith is like a title deed of things hoped for. Faith can also involve fidelity to one’s promises or allegiance to duty. One who has faith in Almighty God and in his Son, Christ Jesus, would want to show loyalty, acting in full harmony with God's ways and advocating them to others. Ps. 145:10, 11.
ENjoy"

My response to Him is ok Lord I will sit silently and still until your promise is given to me and only take the steps you tell me to take...

Thank you Lord
