“In prayer, we should learn to cast all our worries and anxieties on God. Once we have done our part wholeheartedly, the rest is God's work, and He has His own timetable.”

John C.H. Wu · Beyond East and West

Scripture

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Reflection

Completing today's interviews is proof of our hard work, while the uncertainty surrounding the selection of board members is a space God has left for faith. Dr. Wu Jingxiong reminds us that God Himself is the way, meaning our task is not to forge a path in the wilderness, but to walk alongside the "way." Philippians 4:6-7 offers the secret to transformation: replace "anxiety" with "thankfulness." When we view tomorrow's two interviews as a blessing rather than a burden, and see the predicament of finding board members as a prelude to God's glory, that "peace beyond understanding" will transcend logic and solidify our hearts. Remember, in God's timeline, there is no such thing as "slow progress," only "the perfect entry point."
