Father, I pray for us here who are growing discouraged...
When we feel as if we wait and watch and nothing happens— nothing changes—and grow discouraged. We may feel like the prophet who cried out, How long must I call for help, before You listen? Help us not to give up, to keep watching for Your answers, to be willing to keep on praying.
Give us faith, strong enough to wait on You as Abraham, David, and Joseph did. Help them not to lose their confidence in You and Your faithfulness, to know that we will see how good You are. Help us turn to You as the One who sustains us.
Help us put our hope in Your Word. Help us trust in the wonder of Your great love.
In Jesus' name, amen.
amen...
