It is Good to Wait Quietly


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)


Good and Loving LORD,


Thank You for being so faithful to show me Your goodness in those times that I have depended on You the most—and help me today to trust You completely, to seek after You continuously and to quietly wait for Your salvation.


Help me remember all the ways that have You poured out Your goodness on me in the past—and how, because of Your goodness, You have either delivered me out of each distressing circumstance in which I found myself, or sustained me in the midst of it, in order to deliver me through it.
           
Help me seek to make more room for You in my life, as I simply talk with You throughout this day—through my heartfelt prayers and my loving worship of You—and as, within the peace of my stillness, I listen for the quiet whisper of Your Voice.

Help me not to be anxious about those things that I don’t have—and may never have—all figured out.  Remind me to keep my peace, by remembering that You are my hope and You will provide for me, protect me, and save me—because You are my LORD.


Thank You for being so faithful to show me Your goodness in those times that I have depended on You the most—and help me today to trust You completely, to seek after You continuously and to quietly wait for Your salvation.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
