In our situation, however, each time has taken longer. This time, 18 months and counting since we put this last house on the market. What I have learned in this situation is not to pray for a particular outcome, but rather, to pray for God's provision until God decides to provide the particular outcome I desire. If we never sell that house, I believe the Lord will provide just what we need, when we need it, like manna from Heaven. Whether that provision is through unexpected sources of income (which has happened many times over the last 18 months), or refining our budget in ways that we never have had to do before, we've been able to cover our bills, and managed to save a little too. Praying for God's provision, until He brings a buyer to us has given us a great deal of peace during this process.

An illustration of how this can apply to Biblical inspiration can be found at William Lane Craig's website. It's a way to balance sovereignty with free choice.
