Waiting Patiently
_________________________________
Thought for the Day
“When you pray, God always answers – only He answers in His time not yours. While you wait, you might get impatient and find shortcuts to getting what you want. Be careful not to take shortcuts that can hurt others, yourself, or your relationship with Him.”

Today’s Word
“Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.” (Psalm 37:7 NIV)

Today’s Prayer
Father, there are times when I might want something more that You think I need it right then. Teach me to be patient while Your hand works though my life. Let me be able to discern the paths You have set before me from those that may lead me away from You and Your will. Amen.
