God worked through my sister-in-law who wrote a beautiful poem and posted it the very day I was struggling to trust in His timing and provision.
I hope it is as much of a blessing and encouragement to you as it was to me.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Trusting Through Trials
Father God please help me to trust
My timing is NOW
But Yours is not
This trial this test
I don’t understand
I know I can’t make it
Except by Your hand
That must be why
The storm has come
To teach me to trust
To prepare me for
The trials to come
The storm is tumultuous
The wind knocks me down
Which is perfect because
My knees is where must be
The bitter rain stings my face
Causing me to bow my head
My tears mingle with rain
As I come to understand
It’s not the why but the how
How will I make it through
I know there is but one way
The Way the Truth and the Life
He has been with me every day
Urging me to give my cares
To Him and Him alone
To grow my trust
To let go of my fears
To rest in knowing He never left
He is here and will dry every tear.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
