03/12   WAIT ON THE LORD

“Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles.” (Isaiah 40:31)
Waiting is not passive; it is trusting the pace of God. When we wait, we refuse to outrun Him or lag behind Him. Strength is restored, vision is renewed, and faith rises. God never hurries, but He is never late. Waiting aligns us with His perfect timing.

  • Waiting sharpens our vision of God.
  • Strength rises where impatience dies.
  • Christ leads at a pace shaped by love.

Poem – In Your Time
I wait in the quiet,
letting Your pace lead,
trusting Your wisdom
more than my impatience.

You renew my strength,
lifting me above fear,
giving wings to faith
and steadiness to hope.

Your timing shapes me,
slow but sanctifying,
forming my heart
to walk with You.

Prayer
Lord, give me grace to wait. Strengthen me where I am weary and steady me where I am restless. Renew my hope as I trust Your timing. You lead well—teach me to follow well.
