Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”

Hosea 6:3 (NIV)

I am in a dark season, Lord. And so many of my friends are either ill or experiencing some kind of serious trials. I hope and pray for speedy answers.

But if this turns out to be a season of waiting, please come to us with Your Divine presence and Your holy comfort. May it shower down on us as sweet and pure and refreshing as the spring rains that water the earth.

Questions for Pondering…
In the past, how has God come to my aid and to the aid of my friends?
In seasons of waiting, how can I be assured of the Lord’s presence and care?
