A prayer for when you are waiting on the Lord by Christina Fox.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope, Psalm 135.

Are you currently in a place of waiting, perhaps you are waiting for a job, for healing,

for restoration and a relationship, or for wisdom to know where you should go next?

The place of waiting is a place we are all familiar with.

It's a place we find ourselves in often over the course of our lives.

Though it's a familiar place in one we know well, we can often grow weary in our

waiting.

Sometimes our hearts grow heavy with worry and doubt.

Sometimes we might wonder if God has forgotten about us or given up on us.

Father in heaven, I come before you with my heart filled with so many different thoughts

and feelings.

I am tense and uncertain about what I should be doing and where I should go.

I feel weak and helpless, powerless.

I am worried about what happens next and whether I have the strength to handle it.

Deep down I wonder, how long will I be here?

Will I be stuck in this place of waiting forever?

But most of all, I wonder, where are you?

Why haven't you responded to my cries for help?

But even as I pray that, I know you are right where you've always said you would be.

You've never left me and you will never forsake me.

You hear all my cries.
