“You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
JOHN 13:17 (NIV)
In our seasons of waiting on the Lord, He is waiting on us. He uses our time of waiting to mature our faith by anchoring our trust in Him again and again. We must stay focused on Him during this time because our faith will be tested. During our trials we can ask God for patience and to help trust that He knows what is best for us, He has a plan, He does everything for a purpose, and He will see it through.
As our faith grows, we no longer need to ask God why something is happening to us. We can allow Him to work through us during the wait and instead ask, “What is it you want me to learn, Lord?” This is how we stretch our spiritual muscle,; FAITHFULNESS..
Father God, I praise you for teaching me what it means to have faith in silence. As I release these clenched hands, I am reminded to not make idols out of my heart’s desires but to instead cling tightly to Your goodness and faithfulness in complete trust of Your intended plans for me.
Lord, as I face trials that are beyond my understanding, help me to find peace in Your plan as You set things in accordance to Your time. Help me to be more joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer as You strengthen and develop my character through the wait. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
repeat these with even breath throughout your practice
Inhale: I trust in Your will
Exhale: with all my heart
Inhale: I walk by faith
Exhale: when I cannot see
Inhale: the Lord is my refuge
Exhale: and my strength
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
PSALM 34:18 (NIV)
Cry out to God in your sorrows! He will never leave your side and His steadfast love will never come to an end. He is the God of all comfort and mighty healer of the broken, devastated and tender hearted. Be gentle with yourself as you allow time for His healing & restoration to occur. Worship Him in the waiting and praise Him for the blessings that are coming. This is how we stretch our spiritual muscle; LOVE.
Father, I need healing of this sorrow and sadness that only Your love can provide. Please come to my rescue, Father, and set me free of this heavy heart. Let my heart meditate on Your promises and allow Your Spirit to comfort and to fill my heart with Your love; which endures forever.
Renew my faith in relationship with You as my first love and allow my heart to internalize Your promises every day as I put You as #1 in my life. Cleanse my mind of any doubts of Your power, Your faithfulness, and Your presence in my life. Let my focus be on You as I do all the things I did when I first began my relationship with You.
A return to Your everlasting love. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
repeat these with even breath throughout your practice
Inhale: in my heart
Exhale: Your Word is hidden
Inhale: nothing separates me
Exhale: from the love of God
