What do you do when your situation is urgent, you've prayed for help, and God still seems silent? Kristine Brown reflects on the desperation of unanswered prayer and David's cry in Psalm 40:17: “O my God, do not delay.” Through David's example, we're reminded to look back on God's faithfulness, bring our needs honestly before Him, and hold on to hope even when we cannot see how our circumstances will change. This devotional offers encouragement and a heartfelt prayer for anyone desperately waiting for God's help.
