Father,

I praise you that your promises never fail. You always keep your word, as the pages of scripture make clear.

The evidence of your faithfulness is overwhelming. And yet when I consider your promise to me, I admit something I become anxious.

When you don't seem to be meeting my needs or answering my prayers, I get impatient, wondering when you're going to come to my rescue. 

Help me to remember that in the bible, some promises weren't fulfilled for months, years, and even centuries.

Yet you have always fulfilled your perfect plan in your perfect time. 

I praise you for teaching me to wait..so that my confidence in you may grow stronger than ever.
