Is 26:3

Have you ever come to the Lord pleading? Such praying can be very focused, heart based, and comes from our wanting the Lord to help. Many times we will pray like this for a long time before we receive an answer. What is happening? We know that “God wilt keep one in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him: because he trusteth in Him.” Is 26:3.

The phrase ‘stayed on’ is like the word ‘steadfast’. God wants to know that our hearts are steadfast on Him. He may be testing us to see if we love Him enough to be steadfast with our hearts focused on Him.

Father, may we grow in our love for you, that our hearts will be steadfast on You. Thank You for Your help. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
