waiting on the Lord

 Thursday, March 20, 2025 (1:47 p.m.)

Blessed, Holy God and Father,

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You!

Dear Lord, thank You for this day to take the time to do whatever I want to do. Thank You that right in the midst of saying this to You ♪Make Room♪ started singing within me. And I recognized it immediately. Thank You Father. Thank You.

Thank You for the perfectly timed phone call from a dear and trusted friend. Thank You for our prayers for one another and ourselves.

Thank You for this opportunity to wait on You. And the verse (Psalm 27:14) that came straight to mind. “Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.”

THAT’s exactly what I want to do! Wait patiently and make room for You.

(2:17 p.m.)

You’ve blessed me again with HOPE Lord. Reminding me that You’ve absolutely “got this.”

And just like that [snap!] I’m singing another song! [♪Worship Through It♪] Or two. Maybe even three. There seems to be conflicted choruses going on. I’m taking a break and coming back to You with more praise and thanksgiving in a bit. 

I love You. I am grateful. And I ask (Matthew 7:7) You to keep working in, with, by, through and or me.

(3:14 p.m.)

I said I’d be back. How about a little more honest this time?

Father, as grateful as I really, truly am, I want to confess discontentment. Adjusting to this change is hard. Maybe harder than before?

I’m finding myself feeling annoyed with people who are overly helpful and attentive. And disappointed with those I think don’t care at all. This is awkward for me Lord. I truly look to You for guidance. Grace. Acceptance. Serenity. Courage. And wisdom. Seems like a prayer to me!

Yes Father. “Give me the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things that should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.”

Yeah. That!

Thank You. My head feels a little straighter. My smile a bit deeper. Let’s see about that song, shall we?

(3:40 p.m.)

That was pretty darn cool the way You did that Lord. Actually that was WAY cool! I’ve even got chills. The words in this particular song aren’t “God’s got this.” Nope. They go back to what I just prayed for. Grace!

♪ …So next time when you feel blue Don’t let that smile leave you, why? ‘Cause you have every reason just to Sing… Glide… Dance… Laugh… Smile, like you just got away with somethin’, why? ‘Cause you just got away with somethin’ …ever since Grace Got You♪

Amen. Amen. Amen Dear Lord. Make it so I worship You through this all. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
