My [inner] self [as well as my body] is also exceedingly disturbed and troubled. But You, O Lord, how long [until You return and speak peace to me]? Return [to my relief], O Lord, deliver my life; save me for the sake of Your steadfast love and mercy.

Psalm 6:3-4 (AMPC)

Avoid getting negative when you look at your circumstances. Actively wait on God to give you strength to walk in the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). Wait with purpose, silently listening for Him to speak, eagerly watching for Him to act.

Tell Him, “Lord, I receive strength to be Your ambassador and witness. Your Word tells me to love people who mistreat me. Though it is hard to do in the natural, I receive strength from You to be loving today.”

Then watch for the opportunity to act godly as He gives you strength to do so.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, strengthen me as I wait on You. Help me respond with love, patience, and the fruit of the Spirit, even when circumstances are difficult. Use my life as Your witness today, amen.
