To Trust Your Timing

Patient Lord,
The entire universe operates according to your schedule. Time itself is your own creation, and by it you govern and oversee all things. Therefore, forgive me for so often slipping back into thinking that my timing is best. It reflects just one of the many ways I deceive myself into thinking I am the one in control. In your mercy, be patient with me when I am frustrated because life doesn’t happen according to my timeline. Replace my frustration with faith. Give me the humility to know that I could never top your perfect timing, and the confidence to trust your timing. When you promise to work out everything for the good of those who love you, that also means you’ll do it at just the right time. Since you orchestrated all of history to enter the world as Savior at just the right time, surely there is no one better equipped to oversee all the details and timing of my life than you.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Work on Our Timing

Dear God,
While your timing is perfect, ours is not. We pause and procrastinate when we should push forward, and we push forward when we should slow down and reflect. We get impatient when you call on us to wait and put our hope in you, and we remain inactive and inattentive when you’re waiting for us to take action. We want to rush to speak when we should listen, and listen silently too long when we should speak up. Forgive us for our poor timing and mismanagement of your gift of time in general. Help us to number our days and to see our time here on earth as a finite gift. Prompt us to look to your Word for guidance in balancing between resting and responding. As we work on our own timing, make us always grateful for your perfect timing, which, at just the right time, ushered your Son into our world to save.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
