When you are waiting for work

Lamentations 3:25-26

The Lord is good to those who seek Him and wait for Him.

When you are waiting for work. This is where faith gets practical. Pay attention to the sentence your mind writes next. Is it telling you that you are unwanted, unsafe, behind, foolish, trapped, or forgotten? That sentence matters because repeated thoughts eventually start sounding like facts. Waiting is not proof that God has forgotten you. Jesus Christ is present in the part of the story that has no visible movement yet. One honest decision under the lordship of Jesus Christ can be the beginning of a completely different pattern.

What would you advise someone you love to do if they were standing where you are?

Jesus, interrupt whatever is automatic in me that does not look like Your truth. Give me a clear mind, a guarded heart, and the courage to do the next faithful thing. Amen.
