“…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: Thy will be done.”
Elisabeth Elliot
Lord, it is easier to pray for want I want. Teach me to meet you in that still, small place where I can listen and learn. In the waiting, let my soul be receptive to the lessons you’d have me learn. Teach me to pray in all circumstances, “Thy will be done.”
