Psalm 37:34 (The Message)
“Wait passionately for God.”
I think of it like this.
When you’re sitting at the airport to pick up a stranger, you just sit there waiting, thinking about many other things. You’re really not interested in the person coming, more just wanting the wait to be over so that you can go home.

But when you’re waiting there for a sister, a brother, a best friend, you can hardly sit still. You think about your cool memories, and all the things you’re going to do together and you can’t help but smile the goofiest grin. You can’t wait for them to come, not so that you can hurry up and go home, but so that you can be with them, because any place, any situation is made better with them there. You’re excited and expectant for the joy that is to come.
That’s passionate waiting. That’s how we should wait for God.
