Patience

I am soooo in need of Grace right now.

Help me WAIT for You.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Psalm 130:5-6

Help me TRUST in You.

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, 
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 9:9-10

Teach me how to be PATIENT.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, does not boast, is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 14:4-7

Reveal to me any DEBT I need cancelled (Luke 7)
Reveal to me any sin in need of REPENTANCE.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,
as some understand slowness.
He is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9

Fill me with CONFIDENCE in Your Word.

I am still confident of this: 
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
Psalm 27:14

Fill me with EVERLASTING. JOY.

The ransomed of the Lord will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Isaiah 51: 11

Hear my cries, God.
I am so tired Ground me in Your Word. Ground me in Your Truth. Remind me of Your Promises.  Remind me of Your perfect timing and the good things You have in store for us.

Waiting. Trusting. Patience. Repentance. Confidence. Everlasting joy.
