For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. Philippians 2:13 NLT

The nearness of spring will welcome needed change. Rain will pour and God will shower the earth with everything it needs. He will soften the hardened ground and choose to grow what has patiently waited to rise. 

Jesus leads us to the Father and reminds us to be patient. He guides and provides in the timing of His will. He strengthens our hearts. And when we have been readied for His great purpose, He chooses how we will be grown by Him.

God has a plan for our days! He plants seeds of faith and provides everything we need to flourish in the goodness of His grace. He grows our trust so we will learn to cultivate a heart that is grateful. 

God will guide us in His word (Bible) and demonstrate the power of His love. He will soften the hardness and prepare us to rise. When the timing is right, He will allow us to bloom where we have been planted. He will remind us who is working for the good. And He will give us desire to do what is pleasing to Him. 

Dear God, Thank you for the power of Your presence. You give purpose to our days. Forgive us when we forget to faithfully trust. Help us remember there is much to be learned as we patiently wait to be grown by Your greatness. We will flourish in the strength of Your love and rise in wholeness, as we do what is pleasing to You. Thank you, Lord! Thank you for allowing us to bloom with a grateful heart. Amen
