A prayer for patience as you wait on the Lord, by Tiffany Tabault, read by Liam Arden.

Wait patiently for the Lord, be brave and courageous, yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Psalm 2714, in patience every single day it comes my way. Sometimes I can see it coming but

other times I'll find it staring me right in the face, mocking me, testing me, waiting

to see what I will do about it. Waiting patiently is a challenge many of us encounter every

single day. We have to wait for meals to be ready for paychecks to come for traffic lights

to change and mostly for other people. Every single day we have to be patient in our thoughts,

our words and our actions. We also must wait patiently for the Lord. Often we pray for people in

situations over and over again, waiting for an answer that seems to never come. This verse not

only tells us to wait patiently for the Lord, but then it says that we are to be brave and courageous.

We are to be brave. We can choose to be brave in the moment of crisis without fear. In those

painful and difficult situations that come our way, we must wait for the Lord to answer our

prayers. He has before and we can be confident that he will do so once again.

We are to be courageous as we confront our painful and difficult situations even as we struggle

with fear in the midst of it. Courage is making the determination in your mind that you'll face

your difficulties head on. You can have that courage because you know that you have got on your side.

It says in Jeremiah 32-27, nothing is too difficult for me.

Psalm 27-14 says, wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

It not only tells us to wait patiently for the Lord, but it states it twice.

Regardless of the situation, regardless of the level of fear we have,

we are to wait patiently for the Lord to do what he will do.

The posture of waiting is probably the most important thing we can do in our lives. So step aside
