God,
I keep checking for the answer like it will show up in the mail. It hasn't yet. Teach me that waiting on You is not wasted time. You are working in the quiet where I can't see. Give me strength to keep trusting while the door is still closed.
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.
