Wait for GOD.
Trust him, without angst or fear.
Yes, wait. Trust his good timing.
JOHN 11:21-22 (NLT)
Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask.”

What, big or small, in your life is so challenging that you find it difficult to wait for God to work things out? Naming that challenge is a good first step toward trusting him to deal with it.
PRAYER
God of all hope, in moments of uncertainty and grief, help me trust in your perfect timing and power. Strengthen my heart to wait for you with courage, knowing that you are in control. Even when I do not understand, remind me that you work all things for good. May my faith in you remain unwavering. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
