There is an appointed time for everything, but why wasn’t I consulted as to a convenient time?!
I have thought that on several occasions. How many times have you conversed with the Lord with a “Really?! Are you kidding me?!”
Peace, Joy, and Love,

Sometimes,
- We are stretched when we prefer to remain inflexible
- We are tried on the day we are short on patience
- We are called to be generous just at the time our bank accounts are thin
- A friend or family member is taken from us just when the relationship was improving
- We don’t know why we have been so blessed
- We get unexpected great news
- We are touched by the kindness of total strangers
- We get what we need, exactly when we need it
There is an appointed time for everything and a time for
every purpose under the heavens.
A time to give birth, and a time to die; time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and
a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a
time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time
to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a
time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and
a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a
time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Lord, hear our prayers for family. Help us to understand your timing. While we know you hear our prayers and petitions on behalf of our family members, it is difficult to remain steadfast when you choose not to act. May we still praise you for your perfect timing. We ask for patience during times of waiting and trials. May we trust in you always, not just sometimes or other times. Jesus we trust in You!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
