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.
