The Power of Patience in Prayer

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 9/2/25

“Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Isaiah 64:4

I have found that sometimes it seems like God is not answering my prayers when, in reality, He is asking me to wait and be patient.

This happened recently. I have been praying for over two years for guidance in an important decision. Guidance finally came when circumstances changed and the answer to my prayers became obvious. I had done the right thing by waiting. Sometimes, we just don’t have all the facts!

“… the fruit of the Spirit is … patience…” Galatians 5:22

Jesus said we should “pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1

In His Love, Cindy

Finding Hope: A Reflection on Psalm 130

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Friday, 6/20/25

“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.” Psalm 130:5-6 NIV (emphasis mine)

Commentary: The word hope in our present thinking most often carries the idea of wishful thinking, but in Biblical thought, hope was synonymous with certainty. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

In His Love, Cindy

“Wait for the Lord;
    be strong and take heart

When we’ve been waiting a long time, we can become discouraged. But waiting on the Lord teaches us to persevere. That’s why the Lord says, “Be strong and take heart”. Let this verse encourage you, today!

“Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14 NASB

Think About This: “It is in the waiting that we see our need for God. It is in the waiting that we learn a deeper trust. It is in the waiting that we learn to praise God despite our suffering. And it is in the waiting that we learn where to place our hope.” Patty, Waiting Slow, From her excellent blog, He Said What?
