Day 12

##**Lamentations 3:28-30** (The Message)
When life is heavy and hard to take,
go off by yourself. Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions:
Wait for hope to appear.
Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face.
The “worst” is never the worst.

##**PRAYER**
*Eternal Father-your grace is immeasurable and your truth is incomparable.*

Father,
I WAIT FOR HOPE.
Stir in me your Spirit that is quiet, even silent. Give me courage and the peace of being comfortable in the waiting, of inhabiting the space of not running, not being frantic, not doing, not fixing.

Father,
I BOW IN PRAYER.
Cover me with your humility, as I lower my eyes, my head, my knees.
Give me courage to trust you implicitly,
knowing you are in charge and I am not.

Father,
I WAIT FOR HOPE.
I hold my ‘worst’, my trouble, in open hands lifted to you. Give me courage to fully face all that comes my way, knowing beyond what I see you are there waiting for me.

*Lead me today in uniquely powerful ways as you enable me to do your will*
