If you have been praying about something for
a long time and you are beginning to wonder why
God has not answered yet, this prayer is for
you. Maybe the deadline has passed. Maybe the
door is still closed. Maybe you know God can
do it, but you don't understand why he hasn't.
Don't pray alone. I will pray with you. Bring
that situation before God right now. Let's pray.
God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you see
what I have been waiting for. You know how long
I have prayed. You know the questions I cannot
answer and the things I cannot control. And today
I surrender the timing to you. Your word says
my times are in your hands. So God, I place the
clock back into your hands. I release the deadline.
I release my anxiety. I release my need to know
when I release my need to understand how. And
I declare your silence does not mean you are
absent. Waiting does not mean I am forgotten.
And what I cannot see does not mean you are not
working. When nothing seems to be moving, help
me trust you. When the door remains closed, help
me trust you. When the answer does not come when
I expected, help me trust you. When everyone
around me seems to be moving forward while I
am still waiting, guard my heart from comparison.
God, if you are working somewhere I cannot see,
Give me faith while I wait. If you are preparing
something I do not yet understand, give me patience.
If you are protecting me from something I cannot
recognize, give me peace. And if the answer will
be different from what I expected, give me courage
to surrender to your will. God, if you change
the situation today, I will worship you. If I
must wait another day. I will still worship you.
If you open the door, I will follow you. If you
close the door, help me trust where you are leading
me. And if you do not change my circumstances
immediately, change me while I'm inside them.
Strengthen my faith. Quiet my anxiety. Guard
my heart. Restore my hope. Teach me how to wait
without losing my worship. Because today I declare
I'm not waiting for an absent God to arrive You
are already here. You were there when I prayed
You were there when I cried you were there when
the deadline passed You were there when I could
not understand and you are with me now Therefore
I will not let the clock become greater than
my faith. I Will not let delay convince me that
I have been abandoned I will not allow an unanswered
question to separate me from the God I know.
My times are in your hands. My future is in your
hands. My unanswered questions are in your hands.
My family is in your hands. My purpose is in
your hands. My life is in your hands. I don't
know when. I don't know how. But I know who.
And today, that is enough. of Jesus Christ.
