What To Do During The Wait?

"Give me insight to know Your commandments, since I have been formed by Your hands." - Psalm 119:73

I'm not going to lie, I trust the Lord with all my heart, but one thing I can't seem to do very well is smile and be joyful through trials. I'm going through a certain situation right now that's really weighing down on my heart and it seems like just when I think my head will come up above water, I start to sink down again. But the Lord is my consolation; I call on Him constantly throughout the day and I know without a single doubt that He will move me to a better place. My problem is what do I do in the meantime? How do I deal with my sorrow during my day when I'm not praying? This is why I picked this verse today - He formed me, He knows what I'm going through more than anybody and I just long to know what He's doing and when things will work out. What are the plans He has for me? And I also remember what I wrote about yesterday, about bowing down before the power of God and I have to keep on throwing myself into His arms, into His mercy and divine providence.

If you're like me right now and you trust in the Lord but are having trouble waiting in joy for His answers, please pray for me and I will pray for you. I welcome any other prayer requests you may have.

Today's Prayer:
My Lord, in no other name can I ever trust but Yours. You have created me and You know the depths of my sorrow. I await Your deliverance and trust in Your timing but please fill me with joy and optimism while I wait. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
