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, so much around us reveals the world’s wickedness and tries to tell us that this or that is the way to prosperity, but it is a lie. The easy, quick way is not always the best, yet it appeals to our “must-have-it-now” mindset. Instead, You tell us to be still and wait patiently for You to act, because You see the road ahead and know the good and right way we should take. Help us, therefore, to be faithful in waiting 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 and not grow weary, and walk and not faint. Thank you for this promise we can hold onto in our lives. AMEN
