For since the world began,no ear has heard
and 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 must do today!
There is no God like You. Since the world began, You have always been 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 follow You as You 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 must do today!
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
