When You Feel Behind in Life | Your Nightly Prayer

Scripture reminds us that God's timeline is never late. In tonight’s devotional and prayer, we’re reminded that His delays are not denials—but divine preparations. 📖 “The last will be first, and the first will be last.” – Matthew 20:16 (NIV) 🔗 Read more devotionals at BibleStudyTools.com What may look like delay to us is often God shaping us for what’s next. If you feel forgotten or behind, this video is your gentle reminder: you are not late in the Kingdom of God. You are being prepared. 🙏 Tonight’s Prayer Dear Lord, As I lie down tonight, I bring You my comparisons, my impatience, and my fear of being left behind. I confess that I’ve measured my worth by the world’s timelines instead of Yours. Help me release the pressure to “catch up” and rest in Your perfect pace. Teach me to trust Your unhurried process and to find joy in what You’re doing right now, even when I can’t yet see the full picture. Tonight, I surrender my striving and my envy. Fill my heart with peace and contentment, reminding me that I am not behind—I’m being prepared for Your perfect plan, in Your perfect time. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 3 Things to Meditate Upon God’s Timing Is Perfect, Not Pressured: Have I surrendered my definition of success to God’s timing—or am I clinging to the world’s clock? Comparison vs. Trust: Am I measuring progress by social milestones—or by my trust in God? You Haven’t Missed Your Moment: Reflect on this truth—nothing meant for you will pass you by. Every delay may be preparation.
