Father, As I wait, remind me that Your delays do not mean You have forgotten me. Help me to trust that Your timing is perfect and Your plans are good. When I grow weary, renew my strength with thanksgiving — for the ways You’ve already come through and the ways You are working right now. Let gratitude anchor my heart and keep me faithful in prayer until Your promises are fulfilled. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
