THE HOUSE OF PRAYER- THE FERVENT PRAYER OF RIGHTEOUS-Prayer VI: My Times Are in Your Hands

If you have been praying about something for

a long time and you are beginning to wonder why

God has not answered yet, this prayer is for

you. Maybe the deadline has passed. Maybe the

door is still closed. Maybe you know God can

do it, but you don't understand why he hasn't.

Don't pray alone. I will pray with you. Bring

that situation before God right now. Let's pray.

God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you see

what I have been waiting for. You know how long

I have prayed. You know the questions I cannot

answer and the things I cannot control. And today

I surrender the timing to you. Your word says

my times are in your hands. So God, I place the

clock back into your hands. I release the deadline.

I release my anxiety. I release my need to know

when I release my need to understand how. And

I declare your silence does not mean you are

absent. Waiting does not mean I am forgotten.

And what I cannot see does not mean you are not

working. When nothing seems to be moving, help

me trust you. When the door remains closed, help

me trust you. When the answer does not come when

I expected, help me trust you. When everyone

around me seems to be moving forward while I

am still waiting, guard my heart from comparison.

God, if you are working somewhere I cannot see,

Give me faith while I wait. If you are preparing

something I do not yet understand, give me patience.

If you are protecting me from something I cannot

recognize, give me peace. And if the answer will

be different from what I expected, give me courage

to surrender to your will. God, if you change

the situation today, I will worship you. If I

must wait another day. I will still worship you.

If you open the door, I will follow you. If you

close the door, help me trust where you are leading

me. And if you do not change my circumstances

immediately, change me while I'm inside them.

Strengthen my faith. Quiet my anxiety. Guard

my heart. Restore my hope. Teach me how to wait

without losing my worship. Because today I declare

I'm not waiting for an absent God to arrive You

are already here. You were there when I prayed

You were there when I cried you were there when

the deadline passed You were there when I could

not understand and you are with me now Therefore

I will not let the clock become greater than

my faith. I Will not let delay convince me that

I have been abandoned I will not allow an unanswered

question to separate me from the God I know.

My times are in your hands. My future is in your

hands. My unanswered questions are in your hands.

My family is in your hands. My purpose is in

your hands. My life is in your hands. I don't

know when. I don't know how. But I know who.

And today, that is enough. of Jesus Christ.
