Waiting

My heart, clearly expressed by Nancie Carmichael in The Comforting Presence of God

"Waiting teaches trust. When we wait our eyes are on the Lord. Not our problem, not our need - but on the Lord. When we wait for Him, we don't wait alone; He is there, even though He may be silent. 'Waiting' means to not be in control...but rather to know that He is. It's a time to remember this: God has never failed us; He won't fail us now.

Thank You, Lord, for showing us the importance of waiting on You. Remind us that 'waiting' means to simply abide in Your presence with an open and submissive spirit, knowing You are at work. We wait with expectancy and with faith, knowing that all of Your ways are good."
