Day 20: Practicing Patience
Scripture:
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him...” (Psalm 37:7a)
Reflection:
In a world that demands immediacy, patience reveals the wonder of God's perfect timing. Practicing patience invites us to trust God's process, knowing that He works behind the scenes for our good. When we wait with faith, we behold a God who is faithful, slow to anger, and rich in steadfast love. Patience is not passive but an active surrender to God’s timing, which is always perfect. As we develop patience, we grow in maturity and deepen our reliance on God’s promises rather than our own efforts.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to trust Your timing and to be patient in my waiting. Teach me to rest in Your faithfulness and to rely on Your perfect plan.
Reflection Questions:
In what areas of my life do I struggle to practice patience?
How can trusting God’s timing change my perspective during difficult seasons?
