August 15 Devotion - Trust and Wait

 


Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.

 

Psalm 37:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

 

سَلِّمْ لِلرَّبِّ طَرِيقَكَ وَاتَّكِلْ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُجْرِي

 

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

 

قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهذَا لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ فِيَّ سَلاَمٌ. فِي الْعَالَمِ سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ ضِيقٌ، وَلكِنْ ثِقُوا: أَنَا قَدْ غَلَبْتُ الْعَالَمَ

 

John 16:33 Amplified Bible (AMP)

 

So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.

 لِنَتَمَسَّكْ بِإِقْرَارِ الرَّجَاءِ رَاسِخًا، لأَنَّ الَّذِي وَعَدَ هُوَ أَمِينٌ

 

Hebrews 10:23 AMP

 

God always chooses the best time to respond to our prayers and responds to our prayers in His way which may not be what we envisioned, however is always best for us. During our waiting period trust is our foundational asset. Without our trust in Him fear and panic can set in.

When the Disciples were in the boat in the Sea of Galilee facing a terrible storm they expected the worst, however Jesus commanded the wind and waves to be still. He taught the Disciples how to trust Him even in the most tempestuous of circumstances, and He is teaching us to wait and expect for His outstretched arm.


I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You that You are a reliable and trustworthy God and You promised that You will never leave me nor forsake me. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can trust You with an unconditional trust that allows me to have the patience to wait for Your deliverance. Jesus, please teach me to roll and repose all my cares and my load onto Your shoulders. I know that You are faithful. I choose today to concentrate on You. Thank You Father for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. God,  I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe of You, and glorify Your Holy Name. I declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and in His Holy Name I pray to You Father. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, and the dominion before all time, now, and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
