Reflect
In a world where things can be ordered on demand, it’s hard to remember that true transformation takes time. The disciples took years of learning, preparing, and even failing before they were ready to go set the world on fire with God’s love. What looks like waiting may be God’s preparation.
Pray
Patient God,
Help me trust the slow work you are doing in me.
Despite the ups and downs,
remind me that you are there every step of the way.
Let me not rush the process but surrender to it.
Act
Resist the urge to speed through the day. Set a timer or reminder to give you five to 10 minutes between a meeting, appointment, or activity to breathe, listen, and pray.
