Quietly Waiting For You

The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
    to those who search for him.
So it is good to wait quietly
    for salvation from the Lord.

--Lamentations 3:25-26 (NLT)

Dear Lord,

I know that You have shown forth Your goodness to me in the times that I have depended on You the most.  So today, I choose to trust You, to seek after You and to quietly wait for You, as I put all my hope in You.

Help me only to look to my past in order to bring to mind all the ways that You poured out Your goodness on me or saved me out of the situations into which I had found myself entangled.

                                                                    

Help me to focus on seeking out Your will throughout this day in an ongoing conversation with You, through my love-filled prayers and my heartfelt worship of You, as I listen for the quiet whisper of Your voice.

Help me to not be anxious about those things that I don’t—and may never—have all figured out.  But rather, help me to remember that my part is to keep my peace, knowing You are my hope and You will provide for me, protect me, and save me, as by faith I allow You to be my Lord.

I know that You have shown forth Your goodness to me in the times that I have depended on You the most.  So today, I choose to trust You, to seek after You and to quietly wait for You, as I put all my hope in You.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
