A Prayer for Waiting on God
A Scripture-centered prayer for waiting on god and a simple way to make the prayer your own.
Bring what is real.
Open the app with the question, prayer, or part of life you are carrying. AskJesus helps you move into Scripture, reflection, prayer, and a faithful next step.
Read. Reflect. Pray. Take the next faithful step.
You do not need polished words.
You can wait for God without putting every part of life on hold. The goal is not to manufacture certainty; it is to stay rooted in what is true while taking the next faithful step you can see.
Father, You know what I am carrying and what I cannot fix. Meet me in this season of waiting on god. Give me wisdom to see what is true, courage to do what is mine to do, and humility to release what I cannot control. Use Your Word to correct fear, shame, hurry, or disappointment in me. Put wise people around me and help me receive support when I need it. Teach me to be faithful in the next step instead of demanding the whole path at once. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Make it your own.
1. Tell God the specific thing.
Use ordinary words. Say what you want, what you fear, and what you need help to do faithfully.
2. Ask for formation, not only relief.
Use ordinary words. Say what you want, what you fear, and what you need help to do faithfully.
3. Connect the prayer to Scripture.
Start with Psalm 27:14, Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 130:5.
4. End with one next step.
Name what you are waiting for, separate what you can control from what you cannot, and choose one faithful action for today.
