Your waiting feels endless. This journey is likely one you didn’t ask for or anticipate. We see people waiting throughout scripture, and just like you are thrust into a wait with seemingly no end in sight, so was Noah.

In Matthew 6:11, Jesus prays, “Give us this day our daily bread.” I love the emphasis on “this day.” We’re called to be present with today’s provisions from the Lord. In a culture that calls for getting ahead, our Father offers us rest as He provides one day at a time.
