Teach me, LORD, to wait on You!

By Dick Ivey · 2026-06-30

Lord, You know I’m not very good at waiting patiently. It doesn’t come easily to me, even though I know it’s good for my soul.

I long to plan ahead, make quick decisions, invest in outcomes, and make things happen. There is a time for action, but right now is not that time. This is a season for sitting quietly in Your presence, trusting You with my whole being.

Please help me grow in this holy patience. Teach me to rest in You instead of rushing ahead. I want this for Jesus’ sake and for the advance of Your Kingdom.

I pray this in the strong and powerful name of Jesus.

Amen.

Verse for Today: “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.” (Psalm 37:7)
