Reflection

“Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and our shield, For in him our hearts rejoice; in his holy name we trust.” –Psalm 33:20-21

Prayer

God our Help and Shield,

Waiting is hard! When filled with great hope, we know that nothing we do can bring the future any closer to us. And when filled with great fear, we know nothing can stop the future from coming. You made us this way, caught within time, perhaps to remind us that we are not in control of all things. Help us learn to wait better by drawing closer to you and to trust in your goodness. May our hearts find the freedom to rejoice in the waiting, as we place our hopes and our fears into your trustworthy hands. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect on the hopes and fears I have for the future. Commit to embrace the challenge of waiting as a chance to surrender my sense of control.
