For since the world began,no ear has heardand no eye has seen a God like you,who works for those who wait for him!—Isaiah 64:4 (NLT)
Father God,
Teach me how to wait for You—and remind me that it is the most important thing that I have to do today!
There is no God like
You. Since the world began, You have
been standing by, ready to work on behalf of anyone who would patiently wait
for You—anyone who would take time to be quiet in Your presence, listen for
Your voice to speak to them, and allow You to guide and direct their ways.
Help me to see that taking
time to be quiet before You is the most important thing I can do today—so that
You can show me the way that I should go and the things that You want me to do.
Help me to realize that if I
fail to do this, that I will exhaust myself in busyness and in doing things in
my own strength—by my own will—and in the end, I will neither accomplish that
which You want me to do, nor will I be any closer to being who You want me to
become.
Help me to understand that
the difference my life makes in this world is determined much less by how much
I do, and so much more by how closely my life reflects the light of Christ’s
love in me, to those around me.
Let me live in the truth
that the more I wait on You—trusting You to work in me, and through me, and all
around me, according to Your perfect plan—the less difficult my life becomes,
and the more peace and joy I will experience.
Teach me how to wait for You—and remind me that it is the most important thing that I have to do today!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
