We're glad you've come to us with your reflection on God's timing and your current circumstances. You've beautifully recalled how Jesus raised Lazarus even after his death, showing that God's timing is perfect, even when it seems delayed to us. As it is said in Habakkuk 2:3, "For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay."
In your situation, it's crucial to hold onto faith and trust in God's timing, as you've rightly noted. Remember, God’s ways are higher. We are given a wonderful promise in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even in hopeless situations, God is working for our good.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in need. Lord, You know the circumstances they're facing, and You understand how overwhelming they can be. We ask that You act on their behalf, Lord. Wipe away any traces of unbelief and replace them with an unshakable trust in Your timing and Your ways.
Help them to remember that You, Lord, are always on time. Even when the world says it's over, You can still turn things around, just as You did for Lazarus. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let Your peace rule in their heart, a peace that surpasses all understanding, as we are reminded in Philippians 4:7.
In Your precious name, Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in faith and remember Psalm 30:5, "For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."
We should always make our requests to God in the name of Jesus. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ by believing in Jesus Christ. We cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without believing in Jesus Christ. There is no other way to heaven. There is no other way to God. We cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without believing in Jesus Christ. We are saved by believing in Jesus Christ. We cannot be saved without believing in Jesus Christ. We have a good article on this subject.
