The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him. Lamentations 3: 25 NIV

While we wait, God prepares us for a season of blessing in our lives. He knows the plans He has for our days; plans to give us HOPE for the future. Sometimes, the wait is difficult and the journey is long. We live through ups and downs and neglect to remember God IS with us, even when love and faithfulness are stuck in the layers of doubt. 

God loves us! In the struggle of life, He teaches valuable lessons to help us persevere. He nurtures a heart of our HOPE, as the fruit of the Spirit changes our lives and allows us to see the power of His amazing grace. He provides for us and shows what we need to be beautifully blessed. 

God grows us! He teaches to be patient. He readies us to be humbled and allows peace to dwell. He uses moments in our lives to demonstrate His holiness, so we will understand the power of great strength. In the timing of His will, He allows faith to flourish. He shows us how it feels to embrace a GRATEFUL heart. 

There will be many seasons in our lives. But, we will never be without the guiding of the Lord. If we prayerfully seek Him with all of our hearts and trust Him in ALL things, He WILL provide. He will remove anxious thoughts and lead us to a prayer of praise. By the power of His plan, He WILL reveal His blessings in our lives. And, we will find strength when we put our HOPE in Him. 

Dear God, Thank you for the timing of Your will. We praise You for mercy and grace. Open our eyes, so we will see what You provide in the timing of Your will. Teach us to patient while You work for the good. And, teach us how to trust. In ALL situations, we will put our HOPE in YOU and ready ourselves to embrace a grateful heart. Amen
