Trust in God's Timing
Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”

Reflection: Life often feels rushed, but God’s timing is perfect. Trusting Him means letting go of our need to control outcomes and embracing patience.

Prayer: Lord, help me to trust Your timing. Teach me to wait with faith and peace, knowing You are working all things for good.
