Susanna Wesley's Waiting - Wesleyan (Isaiah 40:31)

Source: Biographical illustration86 words

Susanna Wesley had 19 children; nine died in infancy. Her husband was often absent, sometimes imprisoned for debt. Her home burned down twice. Through it all, she spent two hours daily in prayer and personally educated each child. She waited on the Lord through decades of hardship. The fruit? John and Charles Wesley launched a movement that changed the world. Susanna didn't see it; she was waiting on God's timing. "They shall renew their strength"—Susanna needed daily renewal, and she practiced receiving it. So can you.
