Abide, wait, remain. These words echo throughout the scriptures for a reason. They hold the key to entering the Spirit and avoiding frustration.
Your approach before God needs a shift in mentality. Consider these words of Jesus:
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me."
-John 15:4 (NKJV)
This verse encapsulates it all. To truly connect with God, approach Him with a mindset of abiding, waiting, and remaining. It grants you the privilege to stand in awe of God. Yet, this awe is often tarnished by our impatience, our empty petitions, and repetitive words. Instead, approach with patience, ready to bask in His presence, wordlessly.
