A Scripture and a Prayer: “Wait and Not Worry”

“Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.” (Psalm 37:7)

Prayer:

Lord, there is so much around us that reveals the wickedness of the world, and how it is trying to tell us that this or that is the way to prosperity, but it is a lie. The easy and the quickest way is not always the best, but this is the way that appeals to our “must have it now,” mindset. Instead, You tell us to be still and to wait patiently for You to act, because You see the road ahead, and You know the good and right way we should take. Help us, therefore, be faithful to wait upon You, because Your promise is that You will renew our strength, that we will mount up above the fray like an eagle, and that we shall run on not grow weary, and walk and not faint. Thank you for this promise that we can lay hold of for our lives. AMEN
