WAIT FOR THE LORD WITH COURAGE!
Our word for today: Psalm 27
"I long to see your face, O Lord.
"Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call; have pity on me, and answer me.
"Of you my heart speaks; you my glance seeks.
"Your presence, O Lord, I seek.
"Hide not your face from me; do not in anger repel your servant.
"You are my helper: cast me not off.
"I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
"Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27).

Where and how do we get the courage and discipline to wait for the Lord if your lot is a long recovery from an illness, waiting for life partner when your biological time is not slowing down? Think of a number of scenarios where you can do nothing but wait.
My healing word for today comes from Psalm 27:
"Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord."
Some people may dismiss the idea of waiting for the Lord's time as folly. But being cynical will not save anyone from one of those moments in life that come to everyone. Listen to this ancient wisdom:
"Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change. Grant me the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
Repeating this prayer again and again during one of those tough moments of life has brought me wisdom and peace.
Jesus says IN SINU JESU:
“TRUST ME WITH THE TIMING OF ALL THINGS.”
