Wait For The Lord

“I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in his word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning,
I say, more than they that watch for the morning.” ~ Psalm 130:5-6 (UKJV)

I give thanks that we have a wonderful God who hears and answers our prayers.
God’s word admonishes us in Hebrews 4:16: “Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need. (WEB)

The word mercy in this verse means “kindness or goodwill towards the miserable and the afflicted, joined with the desire to help them.”

Our Creator wants very much to help us. He wants us to give Him our burdens.
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time; casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.” -(1 Peter 5:6-7 WEB)

The word “grace” like mercy in the Hebrews scripture means “goodwill, loving-kindness & favor.”

As we give God our burdens, He wants to give us His blessings in return.
““In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” ~(Philippians 4:6-7 WEB)

PRAYER

Thank You, Heavenly Father, that You cherish each one of us as if we were the only one You had to love. Thank You that You hear our every prayer and that no detail of our life escapes Your notice.
You eagerly wait for us to pour our hearts out to You for You are truly the “God of all comfort who comforts us in all our afflictions…”
You hear and answer every prayer we prayer in Your own way and time. Please give us the faith to believe in You, the hope to wait on You,
the grace to know that You will never disappoint our trust in You.
We love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Trusting Trees

Trusting Trees♥️
(Inspired by Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Lord, make me like the tree that grows
By the streams that ever flow;
That are ever bearing fruit
In their season as they should,
Who never drop a single leaf
All because they trust in Thee.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

God’s Strength

God’s Strength
(Inspired by Isaiah 40:28-31
© 2014 S.D. Harden

God strengthens the weak and weary,
Gives hope to those with faith,
And those who trust in Him will run,
They’ll walk and will not faint.

Those who trust in God will soar
On wings as eagles fly;
Jesus will renew their strength
And lift their spirits high.

Even youths get tired
And those who seem so strong
Will one day stumble in their strength,
They’ll stumble, slip, and fall.

Yet those who trust in Jesus
Will regain their strength;
Though they may slip and stumble
They’ll walk again by faith.

Jesus will renew their souls;
He’ll wash away their sins.
He’ll never disappoint the ones
Who put their hope in Him.

His mercy reaches higher
Than a universe of stars,
Those who wait upon the Lord
Will meet Him in their hearts.

Oh have you never known?
Oh have you never heard?
The Everlasting God, The Lord,
The Creator of all the earth
Never faints or stumbles,
He’s ever strong and wise;
His understanding infinite,
And He never, ever lies.

Our God is ever faithful,
To every promise true,
To all who trust in Jesus
Their souls He will renew.

God strengthens the weak and weary,
Gives hope to those with faith,
He’ll never disappoint the soul
Who trusts in Him and waits.

Dear Heavenly Father, may You help us to humbly trust in Your unlimited strength and not in our own limited resources to meet every challenge we face. Your word says, “It’s not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says The Lord of Hosts…” Thank You for Thy grace to patiently wait on You in faith. We love You, Lord.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God Hears You

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Psalm 130:5-6 (NKJV)

God Hears You
© 2014 S.D.Harden

God hears you when you cannot speak,
He hears each whispered cry,
He hears when you in secret weep
He hears each longing sigh.

God hears the silent prayers
That form inside as tears,
He hears the prayers you cannot pray,
God understands and hears.

God is listening to your heart
When you feel all alone,
He’s with you in your darkest hour
A light to lead you home.

God knows every thought you think
Before you say a word,
And though you may not cry to Him
Your voice will still be heard.

For God will hear the silent prayers
Of every broken heart,
He’s close to all who are oppressed,
From them He won’t depart.

Wait upon The Lord, oh wait!
And trust that He is near,
Like watchmen for the morning wait,
Oh trust that God will hear.

Trust that God hears every prayer
And there will come a day
When you will see the answer
To every prayer you prayed.

Wait upon The Lord, oh wait
And trust that He will come,
God is listening to your prayers
And answers every one.

God will hear and answer
According to His will,
His love will give us what is best,
Just wait for God, be still.
