PSALM 27:14 (NLT)
Wait patiently for the LORD.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:6-7 (MSG)
When we suffer for Jesus, it works out for your healing and salvation. If we are treated well, given a helping hand and encouraging word, that also works to your benefit, spurring you on, face forward, unflinching. Your hard times are also our hard times. When we see that you’re just as willing to endure the hard times as to enjoy the good times, we know you’re going to make it, no doubt about it.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Life isn't always easy, even for believers, but we're blessed when we courageously wait for the Lord to act.
PRAYER
Lord, you are solid and reliable. Forgive me for allowing circumstances to shake my faith. Redirect my attention so that my hope is firmly set on you. Help me to be patient. I'm going to wait patiently for you to do what you're going to do. Amen.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
