| my mom shared with me some verses she found in her Bible the other day about waiting and praying.
her Bible has a devotional thing in it and it said that praying and waiting go hand and hand.
i'm pretty sure i need to get better about doing both.
anyways, here are the verses that the devo said to look up.
I will stand at my watch and station myselfon the ramparts;
I will look to see what he will say to me,
and what answer i am to give to give to this complaint.
-Habakkuk 2:1
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
O Israel, put you hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
-Psalms 130:5-7
I say to myself,
"The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
-Lamentations 3:24-26
Lord,
help me to be better at waiting.
help me with my impatience that i have towards so many things in my life.
i want to be better at letting You take controll of my life
and not just going off and doing my own thing because
You aren't as fast at responding to my prayers as i'd like You to be.
Your timing is perfect. help me to remember that.
whether the answer be "yes" or "no"...
help me to be understanding that You only want the best for me.
i love you, Daddy.
forgive me for being dumb sometimes and thinking that i don't need You to be in charge.
i know You want the best for me..and that everything that You plan in my life happens for a reason.
i can never thank You enough for that.
again, i love You.
Amen.
have a blessed wednesday, friends.
♥
