Sitting still and waiting is hard for me. I like to blame my impatience on my ADD. Even though I know God’s power solves any problem. I want to help. I should know from past experiences that putting my hands where they don’t belong causes more problems.

Psalm 27:14 is, “Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”

Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2007

God is the one who rescues me when no one else can. I can’t put broken pieces together as well as He does. My weak efforts do more harm than help. Waiting is the opposite of my normal instinct, but easier when I trust the Lord. He calms me and resolves messy situations in ways that seem impossible.
