Today is Friday, September 24th, 2021; Karen's Korner #4535
At our church prayer time, Nancy Erickson shared this prayer, from a book she was given from a friend, titled "365 Days of Prayer". We couldn't find the author.
Nancy and her family have been challenged by a number of things in the past few months. Among them the death of her sister. And they continue to be challenged by still other things.
WHILE I WAIT
"Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord!"
~ Psalm 31:24 ESV
"God, waiting is hard! I look for the shortest lines in the grocery store and the quickest-moving lane of traffic, and then I come to you and request the timeliest solutions to all my problems. When you don't answer right away, doubt creeps in. Are you listening? Are you there? I need your encouragement, Lord, as I wait for your perfect resolution. Help me remember that you see the big picture, and that your plan is the best possible outcome, which not necessarily the quickest. Fortify my heart with patience, courage and strength while I wait. I trust your plan, and I rejoice in knowing all will be well.
"Do you (we) have trouble waiting for the Lord?"
