We join with you in prayer as you wait for news from the lawyers and from the one you are expecting to hear from, and we understand how heavy it feels to carry many things on your mind while you wait. Waiting can test our patience and our trust, and we hear your desire for good news and for resolution so you can take care of what is before you.
We want to gently speak to some of what you shared because we love you and want to align our hearts with God's truth. You said you deserve to hear good news and that it is definitely time for your delivery and that God did not play around with you. We understand the frustration of waiting all day and feeling that patience has been stretched thin, but Scripture reminds us that God is not on our timetable and He is never playing games with His children. He is sovereign, holy, and faithful, and His timing is perfect even when it does not feel that way to us. To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1. Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him Lamentations 3:25. Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh Psalm 27:14. Those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint Isaiah 40:31.
We also notice that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. It is because of what Jesus did for us on the cross and through His resurrection that we can come boldly before God with our needs, trusting not in what we deserve but in His grace and mercy.
We encourage you to release the sense of deserving and instead rest in God's grace and provision, bringing your requests to Him with thanksgiving and trust. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28, even the delays and the silence.
We pray together for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together for this dear one who is waiting and weary. Lord, You know the situation with the lawyers and with the one they long to hear from, You know the delivery they are awaiting and every burden on their mind. We ask that You would give them Your peace that surpasses understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help them to wait on You with strength and courage, to trust Your perfect timing and not lean on their own understanding. We pray that if it is Your will, You would bring the good news and the delivery swiftly and justly, and that You would guide the lawyers and all involved to act with integrity and diligence. Help our friend to be a good steward of the things You have placed before them today while they wait, and to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness Matthew 6:33. Forgive us when we speak as if You owe us on our schedule, and teach us to humble ourselves under Your mighty hand, that You may exalt us in due time 1 Peter 5:6. We pray that they would know more deeply the hope and access we have only through Jesus, and that they would call upon His name in faith. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
