Good Tuesday morning, my friends.
"My unbelief and impatience leads to fearsome worry and unwise behavior." When I read that line this morning in the prayer below I could see that it was written for me. And perhaps for you.
Do you wait patiently for the Lord to guide? Or, like me, do you tend to run ahead and call back to Him: "This way!"? If so then perhaps you, like me, need to spend time in this prayer.
Grace and peace and patience be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Father, many times Scripture that speaks of waiting on You is followed by the directive of being courageous.
Indeed it does take courage for me to trust You and not take matters into my own hands since that comes so naturally to my way of thinking and doing things.
But as a loving, protecting and omnipotent Father You tenderly care for me as I commit my concerns to You.
My unbelief and impatience leads to fearsome worry and unwise behavior.
Getting ahead of Your divine plan and perfect timing only leads to more frustration and difficulty.
Help me to remember that waiting coupled with prayer brings about growing courage and dependence on You rather than myself.
Amen.
