Prayer: Living in God’s time!
This week I wrote a text about how we should not live our lives in a hurry, much less comparing ourselves to others, because each person has a time and more important than that, there is a right time for everything and God knows what it is. After all, life is a big puzzle, in which we do not know which is the final figure to be formed, but our good Father does.
That is why we must trust Him, we have no way of knowing what will happen in the future, because it belongs to God, so the best we can do is to entrust it to the Lord. So, with this in mind, today I want to pray with you to deliver our goals into God’s hands and live in His time. I leave here a passage especially for you today:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Remember that you don’t have to repeat the prayer exactly as I’m going to leave it here, because each one of us has a specific way of communicating with the Lord. But if you want to accompany me, it will be a pleasure, feel free to speak it in your own way.
Prayer
Beloved God, I thank you for your patience with me and forgive you for my lack of patience with life. I am thankful for your perfect timing in my life, for having a Father who knows all my days and who knows what is best for me. Thank you that things are not in my time but in yours, because if they were as I wanted them to be, they would be a mess.
Today I give my haste to You, I want to get rid of it, because I know that I am where I should be and that it is no use being in a hurry when You are the master of time. I pray for your grace to be poured out upon me, as well as the wisdom that comes from above and good discernment, so that I can make wise decisions and your plans come true in my life.
I want to live your will for me and dream the Lord’s dreams for my life. I don’t know how my life will be in the next few years, but I thank you for how it has been so far, for all the deliverances and victories. I pray that the coming years will be blessed according to my good and perfect will and that I will know how to live not in my time, but in yours.
My God, yours is the power, the glory and the honor forever. It is in the name of Jesus that I pray, give thanks and ask that my words may reach the Lord like a sweet perfume!
