Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
Psalm 6:8-9
I don’t know how, but You, O God, will bring me through this.
I have said before:
You are enough.
Now I will live it.
You are enough.
You are my strength.
You are my Source.
Thank You for keeping me.
Thank You for loving me.
Thank You for saving me.
Thank You for using me.
I am willing to be made willing.
“Prayer is suffering’s best result.”

“O my God, teach me, when the shadows have gathered, that I am only in a tunnel.
It is enough for me to know that it will be all right some day. “
George Matheson
“ ‘The road is too rough,’ I said;
‘It is uphill all the way;
No flowers, but thorns instead;
And the skies over head are grey.’
But One took my hand at the entrance dim,
And sweet is the road that I walk with Him.
“ ‘ The cross is too great,’ I cried –
‘More than the back can bear,
So rough and heavy and wide,
And nobody by to care.’
And One stooped softly and touched my hand:
‘I know. I care. I understand.’
“Then why do we fret and sigh;
Cross-bearers all we go:
But the road ends by and by
In the dearest place we know,
And every step in the journey we
May take in the Lord’s own company.”
-Streams In The Desert
Patience is more than endurance. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says – “I cannot stand any more.”
God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God’s hands.
For what have you need of patience just now?
Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith.
“Though He slay me, yet I will wait for Him.”
Oswald Chambers My Utmost For His Highest
Lord, I am being stretched tighter than I have ever been
I will trust in You – in Your purpose
I am willing to be made willing
