Lord, you see me in this waiting. I am carrying something I cannot hurry, and it is wearing on me in ways I did not expect. God, this waiting is doing something to me. Some days I feel worn thin, and I do not have to pretend otherwise with you. Meet me in this weariness. Give me steadiness for today, and strength for the next small, faithful thing. When I do not know how to pray, hold even my silence and my tired words. Your word says in Romans 8:26, “the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought”. Lord, meet this weakness with your Spirit's help, and give steadiness for the waiting. I do not know how long this will last, or how it will unfold. I bring you the fear that comes with not knowing. I am not asking you to name a time, only to be near me inside the uncertainty. Take my anxiety, Lord, because you care for me. If I need another person beside me in this, lead me to someone I can trust. And in 1 Peter 5:7 your word says, “casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.” Father, receive this fear and every anxious thought, and keep your care close in the not knowing. Thank you for listening, and for staying with me while I wait. Lord, hold me steady in what I cannot hurry. In Jesus’ name, amen.
