My Morning Prayer, Receiving and Waiting

My Morning Prayer, Receiving and Waiting

Receiving and Waiting
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance (Hebrews 6:12 NLT).
 
In your walk with God two things will always be true: You will be receiving from Him and you will be waiting upon Him. Your faith must trust Him for both. You need to receive from Him what is yours for today and wait upon Him for what will be yours tomorrow.
 
What are things that are yours today? His peace, His grace, His mercies, His forgiveness, His cleansing, His strength, His presence, His life, His blessing, His love.
 
There are also things that require your faith to wait. They include prayers you are waiting to see answered, promises you are waiting to be fulfilled, and God’s timing in relation to your personal guidance.

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Thank You, Lord, for your peace and grace—help me to utilize them as I walk through frustrations and situations that try to upset me. Thank You for your mercy, your forgiveness, cleansing and strength—continue to teach me how to extend these things to others, that they may benefit from receiving them and I can build those qualities in my life. Thank you for your life, your blessing, and your love. Let these things shine in me and through me that you in me might be a blessing to those around me—those I know and don't know yet. I want to be salt and light and lead others to you. Help me to be a good representative of your qualities and freely extend these things to everyone.

And thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayers, and for your promises to me (and all believers!) that are true. You are so dependable! Teach me to trust your timing in fulfilling your promises, and help me to use that waiting time wisely—not wasting it away, but building my relationship with you.

I love you and need to feel your love for me today. Help me to be still and know that you ARE God! In Jesus's precious name. Amen.
