Waiting rarely feels natural in a world shaped by speed, efficiency, and instant gratification. Yet Scripture invites us into a slower, deeper way of living—one rooted in trust. In the midst of sorrow and confusion, Lamentations reminds us that the Lord is good to those who wait for Him. Waiting is not passive or empty; it is an act of faith that places our lives back into God’s care-filled presence. Tonight’s meditation reframes waiting as a sacred discipline—one that creates space for healing, deepens trust, and anchors us in the steadfast love and mercy of God, even when answers feel delayed.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE
“The LORD is good to those who wait for him.” - Lamentations 3:25
Your Evening Prayer
Almighty God,
You call me to stop striving and rest in Your unchanging power. In a world that urges me to hurry and control outcomes, teach me to wait in faithful worship and trust Your timing. Quiet my restless heart when I am tempted to take matters into my own hands, and create in me a stillness that draws me closer to Your presence. When it’s hard to see Your mercies at work, remind me that Your faithfulness is constant and Your love never fails. Tonight, I place my hope in You. I wait with trust, I wait with faith, and I wait with confidence that You are at work—even now.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
