Guided Prayer
One · Pause
Be still for a moment. Breathe in slowly, and out slowly — three times. There is no hurry here, and no one is watching.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10 · KJV
Two · Check in
What have you been waiting for, and how long has it been?
Three · Scripture · King James Version
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
Psalm 27:14 · KJV
“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.”
Isaiah 40:31 · KJV
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.”
Psalm 37:7 · KJV
Four · Reflection
Waiting in Scripture is active — resting, hoping, staying near. Strength is renewed in the waiting, not only in the answer.
Five · Pray this
Lord, waiting is hard and I am tired of it. Strengthen my heart while I wait on You. Keep me from forcing doors, and renew my strength day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.

Seven · Private journal
