When I am struggling…. (devo reflection)

Psalm 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope. (NIV)

Lord, I love the trust and expectation in this verse. It is not a question of IF You are coming but WHEN. There is a hope and a certainty in this verse that resonates with me. When I am struggling, Lord, help me to reach out to You and to wait expectantly for You.

Psalm 130:5 I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on Him. I have put my hope in His word. (ESV)

Lord, I still struggle with this desire to be self-sufficient, and while self-sufficiency can be a beautiful gift, if You are not my ultimate foundation, that self-sufficiency becomes an obstacle to You. I don’t want anything to keep me from You, Lord. Help me to be aware of the tendency and to submit myself to You.

Psalm 130:5 With all my heart, I am waiting, LORD, for You! I trust Your promises. (CEV)

Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for this time with You each day. Help me, every morning, to lay my plans, my doubts and fears, my hopes before You and to wait patiently on You. Draw me closer. Amen.

Psalm 130:5 I wait eagerly for the LORD’s help, and in His word I trust. (GNT)

Have a blessed day.
