I groaned. I pulled out my smartphone, thinking I could check my emails, but there was no reception. I groaned again.<\/p>\n<p>My wife and I needed some prescriptions filled before a trip, and we were already running late. (She was in the car, which was all packed.) I settled in for a long wait. Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/6-ways-to-wait-on-god-while-waiting-in-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I have a strategy for such times: I pray<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many people think <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/3-misconceptions-about-prayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prayer is boring<\/a>. I used to think so myself. But I\u2019ve come to realize that prayer can actually be an antidote to boredom. In fact, prayer makes it possible for us to never be bored again. Try this three-pronged strategy:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pray for those you love<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The prescriptions were for my wife, who had recently suffered a severe injury. So I prayed for her\u2014for healing, pain relief, comfort and more. Next I prayed for my children and their spouses, then for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-family\/prayers-for-your-kids-and-grandkids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my five grandchildren<\/a>. I continued, naming my siblings, siblings-in-law and their families before mentioning the needs I knew of for my <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/embracing-a-new-family-of-faith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">church family<\/a> and my friends. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/5-great-times-to-pray-the-aaronic-blessing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I prayed the blessing of Aaron<\/a> for all: \u201cBless them and keep them; make your face shine on them and be gracious to them; turn your face toward them and give them peace\u201d (based on Numbers 6:24\u201326 NIV).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Give thanks for the good things surrounding you<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By that point, I\u2019d made my way to the front of the line. The prescriptions weren\u2019t ready. More waiting. I proceeded to the next step in my anti-boredom strategy: <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/christian_prayer\/prayer-for-gratitude\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offering gratitude<\/a>. I gave thanks for the medicines I was waiting for as well as for the array of remedies on the pharmacy shelves, many of which weren\u2019t available to previous generations. I gave thanks for the skilled people serving customers like me and for the air conditioning. (I live in the desert, and it was August!)<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/how-to-make-gratitude-a-lifestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> I thanked God<\/a> for health insurance. For electricity. I even thanked him for the many medicines I saw that I didn\u2019t need, doing my best to \u201c[give] thanks to God the Father <em>for everything,<\/em> in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ\u201d (Ephesians 5:20 NIV).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ask for everything you need<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>My wife and I had a long drive ahead, and we needed to keep an appointment at our destination. I wasn\u2019t bored, but I wanted the wait to be over, so I prayed for that. I even looked at the pharmacists working to fill my wife\u2019s prescriptions, asking God to hurry them along. I also prayed for s<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/5-prayers-for-safe-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">afety on the road and a timely arrival<\/a>, and for a few other things that came to mind. As often happens, I felt my peace and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/5-biblical-prayers-for-patience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">patience<\/a> increasing as I followed the scriptural command: \u201cDo not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus\u201d (Philippians 4:6\u20137 NIV).<\/p>\n<p>I soon heard a pharmacist call, \u201cHostetler.\u201d I stepped to the register, paid for the prescriptions and headed to my car with a light heart. I might have suffered a little <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/how-to-turn-impatience-into-something-positive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impatience<\/a>, but I hadn\u2019t been bored at all.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more inspiring stories, subscribe to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/magazines\/guideposts-magazine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guideposts<\/strong><\/a> <em>magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The line at the pharmacy window snaked around the corner.
