Daily Affirmations - Day 5 - All Your Cares - Wait Quietly
Day 5: Wait Quietly
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation [deliverance] of the Lord (Lamentations 3:26 - NKJV).
My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
— Psalm 62:5-8 - NKJV
Jesus, my strength, my hope,
on Thee I cast my care,
with humble confidence look up,
and know Thou hearest my prayer.
Give me on Thee to wait
till I can all things do,
on Thee, almighty to create.
almighty to renew.
I want a godly fear,
a quick discerning eye
that looks to Thee when sin is near,
and sees the tempter fly;
a spirit still prepared,
and armed with jealous care,
for ever standing on its guard,
and watching unto prayer.
I want a true regard,
a single, steady aim,
unmoved by threat'ning or reward,
to Thee and Thy great name;
a jealous, just concern
for Thine immortal praise,
a pure desire that all may learn
and glorify Thy grace.
I rest upon Thy word;
the promise is for me:
my succour and salvation, Lord,
shall surely come from Thee.
But let me still abide,
nor from my hope remove,
till Thou my patient spirit guide
into Thy perfect love.
~ Charles Wesley, 1742
