Isaiah 30
"The Lord will wait...that He may have mercy on you."
I love this verse!
First of all, how it applies to me. I need the Lord to be gracious with me...to be patient. I am so thankful for His mercies and compassion toward me. I need His perfect example as a guide for my own life.
I try to remember these words when I am feeling stressed and upset: my kids, my husband, and anyone else who is in my life will benefit from my choosing to wait to react, instead of just blowing up or going with my emotions in the moment.
I am learning right now about not holding on to emotions, but instead, letting them pass through you as you feel them and then letting them go and not carrying them inside of you. (According to one source, emotions should pass through us in about 30-60 seconds!)
I think this still verse applies. In fact, allowing anger and frustration to pass through us and then letting it go would be a good way to look at this. I know how I feel in moments of joy and gratitude and how different I feel in moments of stress and how I am not in a good place to make emotional decisions when I am upset.
It is good to remember to wait to react. Let the frustration and anger pass through you, and then move on more peacefully.
