I wait on You O Lord How thankful I am Father that You are patient with me, slow to anger and abounding in love. Forgive me for not treating others with the same gentle patience that You have shown me (pause and pray for those you find difficult to love). Empower me I pray, by Your Spirit, to be patient with everyone. Forgive me for the many ways I impatiently run out ahead of You and do things in my own strength. Teach me to wait on You, and to walk in the way of Your Word as I do so. May Your name and renown be the desire of my heart in every situation that I face in my daily pilgrimage. Strengthen me to be patient in affliction and to persevere so that I may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. I confess that I cannot do this in my own strength and ask that you empower me according to Your glorious might so that I might have great endurance and patience. Father, may I be one who waits patiently as I hope for what I do not yet see in the circumstances and relationships of my life, knowing that all who wait for You are blessed. May I be patient and stand firm in my faith, for surely Jesus is coming soon! As I wait for His glorious appearing, may my life be characterized by patient hope and endurance. For I know the day will come when I, along with all Your people will declare: “Surely this is our God, we trusted in Him and He saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in Him, let us rejoice and be glad!” May I be one who imitates those who through faith and patience inherited what had been promised. And so this day Father, I choose to wait for You, to trust in You, to hope in You, knowing that those who hope in You are not disappointed. Strengthen me to stand. I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
