Prayer
Jesus taught us to pray for daily bread, acknowledging our dependence on the Father's timing (Matthew 6:11).
Father, You hold all time in Your hands and see what we cannot see. I confess I get impatient with Your timing and try to force seasons that haven't come. Help me trust that You are making all things beautiful in their time. Give me peace in this current season and faith to wait on Your perfect plan. In Jesus' name, Amen.
