We hear this phrase and sometimes it just slips right past us because we as sinners think we have it all together, we are in control, “be good” and it will all work out. However, this is not so - We as Christians are broken. Life on our own is nothing. Life with and in Christ bring true joy. So what does Pray Wait Trust mean and how is this backed in God’s Word, the Bible? During these days of uncertainty (Covid, relationships, politics, jobs, ....life) it is more important than ever to place our trust in Christ. He is the only one in control. He is Sovereign. He is Faithful.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
———PRAY———-
Talk to God about all of your struggles and worries. Tell Him what you are going through and ASK Him for help. Whether it be about a test, a job, a relationship, getting sicker vaccinated , or anything else during this time. Pray and ask Him for help with everything you are going through. Nothing you take to God in prayer is too small or too big! You may say well since God is all- knowing, he already knows my cares and worries so I do not have to tell. Yes, as Christians part of obeying our Father is praying-asking, telling, and thanking Jesus Christ. we should also thank Him for everything we have including all the little things you are grateful for.
Thank Him for the family you have and the food on your table. Stay in prayer. Whatever it is you are praying for, know that God has your best interest at heart. He has a plan and He will make a way

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Phillippians 4:6-7
——-WAIT——-
God is always working.God is on the move. We may think he is not there or is silent, but that is not true. God is working in the waiting. He hears your prayers and He is working on them. He does not always respond immediately, but He will in His perfect timing. We can get impatient because we want to have it all figured out. It is in the waiting that we will grow and we learn. While we wait we need to lean on Him. Build your r relationship with Christ during this time. Love and serve others as Jesus would. One of my favorite verses gives us the reminder in truth and through God’s glory waiting while it may seem like suffering is all part of His plan

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:31
——-TRUST———
While we wait, we need to trust. We need to trust that God has a plan. The answer may be not right how you want it now, but it is where Gid wants you right now God’s answer may be the answer you want, but He wants you to grow, lean on Him, and trust the wait. We should trust that He has a plan for all of us and for the world — that He will love and protect us. Place your trust faith in Christ and not in things of the world it takes the faith of a mustard seed

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” – Psalm 56:3
