Patience. That’s what has been on my heart a lot lately.
Patience for what tomorrow brings
Patience for talking to my family and friends
Patience for going to bed, even when I’m tired
Patience for dinner
Patience for understanding
Patience for when to speak
Patience for what will come next
Patience for watching His promises play out
There have been times lately where I have found it hard to have patience. In these times, I have to remember the promises that the Lord has for me. He has promised me love, joy, and acceptance; and I will remember that and be patient. The Lord has blessed me by reminding me that I am a woman of patience, and to turn to Him when I am unable to feel that way.
Through being patient, I have been able to hear the Lord speak through His word, journaling, or even in prayer. This season of my life has already shown me so much growth, just because I have been listening to the Lord and making time for Him
2 Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
I need to be ROOTED in my faith. I need to remember that I am a daughter of the Most High King. I am a princess.
For the year 2020, the Lord gave me the word “Rooted” and more specifically, “Rooted Restoration” I was confused on the Restoration part of this, but as I’ve been praying, the Lord has told me that He is going to restore my relationship with Him and my mindset toward myself. He has been teaching me that what I say matters and that He is going to guide my words and thoughts to center around Him. To do this, I need to be ROOTED in my faith. I need to remember that He is omnipresent and will keep His promises, and once my roots grow deep, I’ll be able to begin growing and withstand any trials that I will go through in the future; because once my roots are deep in may faith, I will be unmovable and I will continue to grow.
