“Your post is awaiting moderation” is something we bloggers see a lot.
When we comment on someone else’s blog, depending on their settings, our comments have to wait for their approval before they’re displayed.
Ever felt like your prayer is awaiting moderation? in heaven? For, like, decades?

We learn to come into agreement with God, rather then being like children who can only see things in terms of getting a “yes” or a “no.”
