Who is a God like you, who takes away guilt
and pardons crime for the remnant of his inheritance?
Who is like you whose anger does not last?
For you delight in merciful forgiveness.
Once again you will show us your loving kindness
and trample on our wrongs,
casting all our sins into the depths of the sea.
---- mine,
I know you are finding it hard to be cheerful and to have confidence that in the end, all that you ask for in prayer will be granted to you. I know the waiting is hard. It seems like forever. You wonder why I have delayed for so long. You are becoming impatient, your heart is filled with sorrow, and your spirit is crushed. Yet, I desire you to hold on in faith. Lift up your head. Keep your eyes fixed on Me, not on the length of time that is passing. Trust Me. Trust My Word. All that I have said, I will do. Remember, you cannot see as I do. You do not know as I do. I desire only to give all that is good and needful. I AM Jehovah Jirah, and I know the times and the seasons, and accordingly, I will give and will bless. How much longer, you say? Well, for as long as it is necessary. Do not grow weary and impatient. Do not grow tired of praying, praising, adoring, and worshiping, for in this you will know whether or not you believe that all things are possible for the one who believes. Despite the crushing weight of the cross, despite the anxiety, the fears, and the worry, continue to persevere and when you least expect it the clouds will part, the sun will shine, your sorrow will turn to joy, and gladness and thanksgiving will overflow from your heart, and you will bow down in grateful thanks for all that I have done. I will heal, I will forgive, I will bless, I will restore. Wait and pray with expectant faith. All things are possible if you believe.
