While staying with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. “This,” he said, “is what you have heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

God of perfect timing, forgive me when I grow impatient. Forgive me when I want to rush your plans. Teach me patience and trust in your wisdom even when I don’t understand why things take so long. Amen.
