Trusting

It has been so long, Lord.  SO long.  I’ve prayed for years and years and years and years and years.  It seems like an eternity that I’ve been praying for this.  In my mind I know that You will answer these prayers because they are in accordance with Your will.  In my heart, though, I am discouraged.  Today it seems to have come to the forefront in my heart and I need a double portion of Your grace to get past my discouragement.  I don’t want to give up for nothing is impossible with You. (Luke 1:37)  I’m just struggling with the waiting and the lack of visible signs that Your work is being done.  

As only You can do, Lord, You have given me Your Word to comfort and encourage me.  How like You.  Place Your Word in the depths of my heart and keep my eyes on You.  You will do Your work, answer my prayers and be mightily glorified in it all.  

“The Lord Himself goes before You and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”  Deuteronomy 31:8

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your prayer requests be made known to God.”  Philippians 4:6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”  Proverbs 3:5

By Your grace I will trust You and will wait for the answers to my prayers.  It’s the only way to be victorious in all of this.  Praise You from Whom all blessings flow!!!
