...at least at this moment for me. There have been two written in the past couple of days in "every woman, every day" and they are ones I am saying as well:
LORD, I don't understand why waiting is such an impossible thing for me. Time appears to plow ahead, and the changes I long for seem like distant dreams, whispers of possibility, but far from present reality. Help me understand that in the waiting I am living my questions one day at a time. In living the questions, I can be assured of learning much more about Your nature than instant answers or change will offer me. Please give me patience and faith. Like the rolling of the unending tide, Father, I pray that You will continue to come upon me, restoring my faith and granting me greater patience for the journey.
LORD, I understand how important guarding my heart is to my well-being. The longings and desires of my heart affect every other aspect of my life. Teach me how to guard my heart, how to protect it. Teach me how to keep my heart pure. With a pure heart, I can be pure physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
I know they are someone else's prayers... but the words were almost what I had been praying about when I read them. They are my cry at the moment. Along with the word I say so often in my day:
TRUST
"I TRUST YOU, LORD"
