God, help me feel assurance that you know what you’re doing and that the timing of all of this is in your hands when it is most certainly not in ours. Let me rest in the comfort of knowing you are good. Help me daily (hourly, moment by moment) to find contentment and joy in you. Grow in me patience and perseverance. Let our longing be for your will more than each other. Strip from me the idea that I am a sprinter, anxious on the starting line, and replace it with an image of following your lead in a dance together. Though I feel in my bones a crescendo coming, this stiller movement is still apart of the choreographed beauty of the whole piece and is far from an end or a beginning. Help me feel the rhythm you are asking me to move in and the closeness of you guiding me. I praise you for blessings and answers to prayers that are already on their way. I lay the desire of my heart at your feet.
