Thank you for sharing your faith#

Sam, thank you for this prayer. I actually used this prayer for myself. I believe the Lord is showing me areas where I need repentance because he wants to make me less selfish and patient. In the beginning of this pandemic I read Isaiah 28: 16 "... Faith that is firm is also patient." I tend to often give into impatience in waiting for the Lord to respond to my prayers. This brings anger and desperation and blocks joy from my life- The Lord wants us to wait joyfully trusting in him. I believe the Lord is working in us similarly. This whole process brings confusion and darkness. I hope this is a confirmation for you to continue pursuing the Lord despite the darkness as it was for me to read and use your prayer. Thank the Lord for creating in us a contrite heart. Blessings.
