Grace and Peace 📖🙏🙌🫶
Bible Scripture Psalm 37:7 (KJV):
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.”
Revelation:
Psalm 37:7 is a command of stillness in a world full of noise, distractions, and delays.
This verse teaches three spiritual disciplines:
1. Rest
2. Patience
3. Emotional control
These are weapons against anxiety, frustration, and comparison.
1. “Rest in the LORD” — Find Peace in His Presence, Not in Your Circumstances
Rest here means:
   •   Be still
   •   Cease striving
   •   Stop overthinking
   •   Stop trying to fix everything
   •   Stop fighting battles that belong to God
This rest is not inactivity
it is trust activity.
God is saying:
“Relax in Me. I’ve already secured your outcome.”
Rest is spiritual warfare.
When you rest, the enemy loses leverage.
2. “And wait patiently for Him” — Don’t Rush What God Is Perfecting
Waiting patiently does not mean waiting silently.
It means:
   •   Wait without complaining
   •   Wait without panic
   •   Wait without comparison
   •   Wait without trying to force the outcome
Patience is proof that you trust God’s timing more than your emotions.
God is preparing:
   •   the right moment
   •   the right environment
   •   the right people
   •   the right alignment
   •   the right breakthrough
Rushing leads to regret.
Patience leads to promise.
**3. “Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way”
Stop Watching Other People’s Journey**
This verse returns to a key theme of Psalm 37:
Don’t compare. Don’t envy. Don’t panic.
Some people will look like they are winning.
Some will seem to advance faster.
Some will have temporary success through:
   •   manipulation
   •   lying
   •   seduction
   •   wicked schemes
   •   shortcuts
God says:
“Don’t get frustrated by the temporary victories of the wicked.”
Their prosperity is:
   •   short-lived
   •   unstable
   •   unsustained
   •   unblessed
What God builds in your life will last forever.
Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus,
I choose today to rest in you.
Quiet my spirit, calm my thoughts, and settle my heart.
Teach me to be still in your presence, trusting that you are working even when I cannot see it.
Lord, give me patience in the waiting season.
Remove every spirit of frustration, impatience, and anxiety.
Help me trust your timing, your wisdom, and your perfect plan.
Father, deliver me from comparison.
Guard my heart from envy, irritation, or discouragement when others seem to prosper by wicked means.
Remind me that what you have for me is for me, and nothing can stop your promise.
I declare:
I will rest in the Lord.
I will wait patiently.
I will not fret.
I will not compare.
I trust God timing over my own desires.
Thank you, Lord, for giving me peace in the process and strength in the waiting.
You are faithful, and I trust you completely. In Jesus faithful name I pray, Amen.
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
