God,
Some days I wonder if You heard me the first time. I've asked, and asked again, and the door is still closed. Help me not to mistake Your silence for absence. Teach me to wait the way a farmer waits for rain, patient and still planting. My times are in Your hand.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Bible verses about waiting on the Lord
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
