Waiting on the Lord...

Our soul waits for the LORD;

He is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in Him,

Because we have trusted in His holy name.

Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us,

Just as we hope in You.—Psalm 33:20-22

Teach, me Oh Lord to wait for You.  To remember that YOU ARE my help and my shield.  You protect me while I wait.  I am glad and rejoice because I have trusted in Your holy name. Your mercy also surrounds me as I place my trust and my hope in You.   I seek mercy...I HAVE a divine Helper...God IS my shield. I CAN rejoice!  I will praise Him with my song.  

Oh Father!  I want my strength to be in You.  You give power to the weak and to those who have no might, You increase their strength. I want my walk in this world to reflect the verses below.  Do this work in my heart.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,

Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

They make it a spring;

The rain also covers it with pools.

They go from strength to strength;

Each one appears before God in Zion.—Psalm 84:5-7

But those who wait on the LORD

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.—Isaiah 40:31
