About This Quote
God used my year of waiting not to frustrate me, or abandon me, but to draw me into a closer relationship with Him. This quote is from John Piper’s book "Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist." The quote is the first chapter of his book and is about his year long period of waiting for God to do something in his life. During that time he decided that he wanted to spend it reading and studying The Bible, and wanting God desperately. At the end of the year he found himself praying more than ever. His prayer life was stronger than it had been before and it was this desire for God that drew him closer to Him.
