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 Faithful LORD,

 

May I always depend on You, and see that You are good. May I always search for You, and discover that You can be found. And may I always wait quietly for You, and find my salvation always and only comes from You.

 

Help me to acknowledge that I am totally dependent on You—that apart from You I have no hope. Display Your goodness in every corner of my life, as it is Your desire to do.

 

Help me to search for You with all my heart, so that You can usher me into Your presence and show me who You are and who I am to You.

 

Help me to wait quietly for You, trusting in Your faithfulness. Let me fully experience the salvation that comes to everyone who puts all their hope in You.

 

May I always depend on You, and see that You are good. May I always search for You, and discover that You can be found. And may I always wait quietly for You, and find my salvation always and only comes from You.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Do Everything With Love

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith.  Be courageous.  Be strong.  And do everything with love.

—1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

In these difficult and uncertain times, as I wait for the return of Your Son, Jesus, help me always to be on guard, to stand firm in my faith, to be courageous and strong—and to do everything You have called me to do with love.

Help me to stay alert, aware and ready to respond to any attack from the enemy—whether it is an obvious threat to my physical safety, or a subtle attempt to deceive me and entice me down a path of destruction.

Help me to hold fast to the revelation of Truth that I have found in Your Word and refuse to exchange it for the so-called “wisdom” of this world—remembering, at all times, that it is by this faith alone that I am able to stand against temptation and, in Christ, overcome the world.

Make me fearlessly courageous and forever strong by never letting me forget who I am in Christ and by keeping me sensitive to Your Spirit—ready to obediently take action as You speak to my spirit, and as I acknowledge that I am completely dependent on You and Your Almighty Power and Presence at work in me. 

As I move forward boldly and courageously in Your strength, cause grace and truth to coexist within my heart—in the purest form of love—and let my thoughts, my words and my actions be a God-honoring reflection of the love of Jesus Christ.

In these difficult and uncertain times, as I wait for the return of Your Son, Jesus, help me always to be on guard, to stand firm in my faith, to be courageous and strong—and to do everything You have called me to do with love.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
