“simply the quieting now…
a waiting on Him . . .
all our Hope.
#EveningPrayer” (Ann Voskamp).

“Father,
Forgive me for all my doubts, worries, and fears.
Forgive me for my impatience as I wait in this place.
Forgive me for questioning the story you’ve written for me.
I believe, help me in my unbelief!
Help me to remember that it is good to wait for you.
Grant me the joy that comes from knowing you.
Fill my heart with gospel joy” (Christina Fox).

Lord,
Help us to wait expectantly and to wait well, not as idle people but as those who prepare their hearts as a farmer prepares the soil of his crops to receive the rain.

Amen.
