Daily Devotions

Do you find it hard to wait on the Lord? For many, waiting IS hard. We need to learn to wait in hope. The psalmist David wrote in Psalm 33:20, “Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.”
It can feel as though things in life will never change. Your challenges persist, perhaps over an extended period of time, and it seems all your prayers are met with closed doors. Like David in Psalm 13:1 you cry out, “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?”
But be encouraged my friend, Your dark moments will last only as long as is necessary for God to accomplish His good purposes. And your heavenly Father is well aware of your limits.
You can endure. You will overcome this. How? By turning to the Savior often – in prayer and through the reading of His Word, the Bible. Whenever you feel weak, go to His throne of grace and there you will find the strength you need – even if it’s every two minutes. He will sustain you. He wants to teach you His ways, build His character in you, and grow your faith. Just trust and rely on Him.
Listen, don’t give up – this pain will end. You will prevail over this difficulty and your circumstances will change. Look to God to uphold you as He works out His good purposes.
Today, may your prayer be: “Lord, i will hope in You. Thank You for sustaining me and teaching me Your ways during this dark time in my life, amen.”
