Dear Lord,
We have talked several times. On some occasions I may have spoken quickly because of the haste in my daily life. You have seen me smile when my heart is filled with gratitude. Other times you have seen my tears flow, because things did not happen as I would like. Perhaps I have been selfish in my requests or have not asked according to Your will. I always hope that my prayer will soon receive an answer from You, but I know that many times, You wait on me to do my part. Help me to do my best, and rest in the assurance that I am giving my best effort because I have sought Your direction and Your wisdom. Help me to trust fully in Your providence. There is nothing in this world that You do not know and You will always know what is best for me. If my thoughts are on You, the answer to my prayers will come at the perfect time.
“And this is the confidence that we have in God, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us”. 1 John 5:14
