Sometimes All You Can Do Is Stand

This will be short.  It relates to seeing your prayers answered and/or seeing a miracle birthed in your life.  When you are waiting for your prayer/miracle to show up, sometimes the battle is so hard you dont even have the strength to pray inside your head.  I've been there.  There is nothing wrong with you and you should not beat yourself up when you are in these times of low strength.  What should you do when you can't manage to pray or rejoice or give thanks or ask or seek or knock etc?  Just stand...

Its okay!!  This is battle, this is war.  Sometimes you cannot gain an inch of ground so just stand firm on the ground you've already gained.  Do not retreat, just stand.
