Patiently Waiting For The Lord
Impatience. Every single day it comes my way. Sometimes I can see it coming, but other times I will find it staring me right in the face, mocking me, testing me, waiting to see what I will do about it.
Waiting patiently is a challenge many of us encounter every single day. We have to wait for meals to be ready, for paychecks to come, for traffic lights to change, and mostly for other people. Every single day we have to be patient in our thoughts, our words and our actions.
We also must wait patiently for the Lord. Often, we pray for people and situations over and over again, waiting for an answer that seems to never come.
We are to be courageous as we confront our painful and difficult situations, even as we struggle with fear in the midst of it. Courage is making the determination in your mind, that you will face your difficulties head on. You can have that courage, because you know that you have God on your side.
Step aside and let God be God. If we can give him the opportunity to move in both our lives and in the lives of others, it could turn out to be the most amazing thing ever! No matter what you are facing today or tomorrow, you can fill your heart and your thoughts with peace. God is at work in your life. He is moving things we cannot see. He is changing hearts.
When God moves in your life, share it with others. They need to hear it as much as you will need to share it. Our faith grows each time we hear what God is doing. Let’s be bold in declaring that God is alive, that He is at work and that He loves us.
Let’s wait patiently for Him to move in our lives. He loves you. He is with you. Turn to Him at all times and in all situations and wait with expectation to see what He will do. It will be amazing!
Dear Lord,
As I go through my days, facing each of the situations before me, I pray that you give me the strength to be patient as I wait for you to move in every single one. Help me to be brave and courageous when the fear grows strong and the time passes so slowly. Help me to cast fear far away, as I keep my eyes on you in every single situation today.
In your Name, I pray,
Amen.
