July 27, 2020 - PATIENT PRAYING

Day 209 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 44:20-30; Psalm 26; Acts 27:1-12 )

PATIENT PRAYING 

"Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all the day long." (Psalm 25:4-5 ESV) 

"David prays, ‘For You I wait all the day long.' God promises to answer prayer, but we may be impatient or tempted to question His answers.  Even when our faithfulness fails, God is faithful.  He hears our prayers and truly acts for our good.  In faith, we patiently wait for Him."  (The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 867) 

God of my salvation, open my eyes to Your path and Your truth. Please grant me the patience to wait for You and the faith to believe Your promises. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
