Waiting on the Lord

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.--Psalm 27:14

Father,

My hope is in You and in Your word.  Thank you that I can come boldly before your throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.  While I wait, Lord, help me to be strong and courageous...to quit like a man...to stand fast knowing that you are right there with me and hold my hand.  You are my help and my shield...my soul waits for You.  You will be gracious to me.  You will have mercy on me.  You will not disappoint me. Be exalted in my life.

I will not step out ahead of You, nor will I lag behind but I will look for You....I will wait for You!  You are my God who cares for me.  I will follow where you lead.  I will dwell in the shelter of Your wings.  You are my God and I want You to be my guide even unto death.

As I walk with You, You will strengthen my heart because as I draw close to You I  learn that You are the One who performs all things for me and that You do all things well. You are the One from whom my strength comes.  You live in my heart.  When I cry out, You answer me and strengthen me with strength in my soul.  I am trusting You and depending on You to give me everything I need for the path You lead me down.  Because I wait on You, my strength is renewed and I mount up on the wings of eagles.  I run and do not grow weary...I walk and do not faint.  Your grace, Father, is sufficient for me.  Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.  I am strengthened with might by Your Spirit in my inner man.  I can do all things because You strengthen me as I wait on You.

Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and  through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. --2nd Corinthians 2:14
