The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” (Jeremiah 1:12 NIV, 10-21-12)

Not stressing, not manipulating, watching.

God has said it, it is done, so just watch. Stressing adds nothing positive to the equation, and manipulating doesn’t make it more likely.

[Father, help me to learn the lesson that what you have willed and spoken will happen, and my stressing doesn’t add anything positive to the mix. Teach me to trust.]
