WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.220 If you have been praying about something for 00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:05.379 a long time and you are beginning to wonder why 00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:08.839 God has not answered yet, this prayer is for 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.000 you. Maybe the deadline has passed. Maybe the 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.000 door is still closed. Maybe you know God can 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.100 do it, but you don't understand why he hasn't. 00:00:18.219 --> 00:00:21.120 Don't pray alone. I will pray with you. Bring 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.280 that situation before God right now. Let's pray. 00:00:24.379 --> 00:00:27.500 God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you see 00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.320 what I have been waiting for. You know how long 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.100 I have prayed. You know the questions I cannot 00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:36.600 answer and the things I cannot control. And today 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.000 I surrender the timing to you. Your word says 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.560 my times are in your hands. So God, I place the 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.679 clock back into your hands. I release the deadline. 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.359 I release my anxiety. I release my need to know 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.759 when I release my need to understand how. And 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.820 I declare your silence does not mean you are 00:00:57.850 --> 00:01:00.649 absent. Waiting does not mean I am forgotten. 00:01:00.909 --> 00:01:03.869 And what I cannot see does not mean you are not 00:01:03.869 --> 00:01:07.030 working. When nothing seems to be moving, help 00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.310 me trust you. When the door remains closed, help 00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:13.329 me trust you. When the answer does not come when 00:01:13.329 --> 00:01:16.469 I expected, help me trust you. When everyone 00:01:16.469 --> 00:01:19.250 around me seems to be moving forward while I 00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:22.689 am still waiting, guard my heart from comparison. 00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:26.250 God, if you are working somewhere I cannot see, 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.719 Give me faith while I wait. If you are preparing 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.739 something I do not yet understand, give me patience. 00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:36.879 If you are protecting me from something I cannot 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.620 recognize, give me peace. And if the answer will 00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:45.000 be different from what I expected, give me courage 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.659 to surrender to your will. God, if you change 00:01:49.659 --> 00:01:53.920 the situation today, I will worship you. If I 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.750 must wait another day. I will still worship you. 00:01:57.969 --> 00:02:02.209 If you open the door, I will follow you. If you 00:02:02.209 --> 00:02:05.450 close the door, help me trust where you are leading 00:02:05.450 --> 00:02:08.490 me. And if you do not change my circumstances 00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:12.289 immediately, change me while I'm inside them. 00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:17.330 Strengthen my faith. Quiet my anxiety. Guard 00:02:17.330 --> 00:02:21.949 my heart. Restore my hope. Teach me how to wait 00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:25.780 without losing my worship. Because today I declare 00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:30.340 I'm not waiting for an absent God to arrive You 00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:33.439 are already here. You were there when I prayed 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.860 You were there when I cried you were there when 00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:40.000 the deadline passed You were there when I could 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.000 not understand and you are with me now Therefore 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.439 I will not let the clock become greater than 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.319 my faith. I Will not let delay convince me that 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.400 I have been abandoned I will not allow an unanswered 00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.300 question to separate me from the God I know. 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.099 My times are in your hands. My future is in your 00:03:03.099 --> 00:03:06.039 hands. My unanswered questions are in your hands. 00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:08.960 My family is in your hands. My purpose is in 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.180 your hands. My life is in your hands. I don't 00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:17.180 know when. I don't know how. But I know who. 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.949 And today, that is enough. of Jesus Christ.
