Write down one situation where you're demanding answers, then pray this: 'God, I trust Your timing more than my understanding.'
Prayer
Jesus taught us to pray 'Your kingdom come, Your will be done' (Matthew 6:10), surrendering to the Father's unfolding plan.
Father, You see the end from the beginning while I can barely see tomorrow. I confess I want control over what You've already planned. Help me trust that Your purposes are better than my preferences. Give me patience to watch Your plan unfold instead of forcing my own. Teach me to rest in Your sovereignty. In Jesus' name, Amen.
