Pray then wait

 

  In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God

        Phil. 4:6

The natural temptation with every difficulty is to plan for it, to put it out of the way yourself; but stop short with all your planning, your thinking, your worry, and talk to Him! “Cast thy burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain thee.” You may not always be able to do this in a moment or two. Then keep on with supplication until you know He has it, and prayer becomes praise. Rest, trust, and wait, and see how He does that which you wanted to do, and had so much care about. “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.”

The Lord does not always answer prayer immediately. Continually cast your cares before Him, then wait on Him for the answer. I have often asked for different things as needed. His answer was often " I am sufficient for you." Other times he answered but not the way expected. He even gave me a schedule of the things He would take, all of which were done in the grace of His good time. Be of patience and you will have answers. Be still and know.

May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
