Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we see from Joshua chapter one, that last line, you keep every promise that you make, not one word from your mouth falls to the ground. Help us remember your faithfulness when we're still waiting on other parts of the story. I pray that you would teach us to trust your timing and the rest in your provision. Let gratitude rise within us as we look back and see how far you've taken us and as we move forward, I pray that you would anchor our confidence in knowing that you are faithful. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
