God Delivers Those Who Wait
Psalms is not only a book of praise,
it is also a book of practical counsel.
And in the last 5 chapters of Book 1
written by David, you will learn
how to deal with fretfulness (Ps 37)
and failing strength (Ps 38-39);
as well as how to rest in
God’s faithfulness (Ps 40)
and how to rightly respond to
a friend’s unfaithfulness (Ps 41).
Lord, we Wait Patiently for You:
Lord what do I wait for?
My hope is in You. Deliver me…
Hear my prayer O Lord, and
give ear to my cry; do not be
silent at my tears (Ps 39:7-12).
I Waited Patiently for the Lord
to help me, and He turned
to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of
despair, out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me (Psalm 40:1-2).
Be pleased O Lord to deliver me;
O Lord make haste to help me!
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay (Psalm 40:13-17).
Lord, You see me and hear me
when I have lost all hope.
Remind me to wait patiently
for You and let You deliver me.
Give me the power to curb my
tongue and control what to say.
For Lord You are the one who
will lift me out of the pit of despair
for You are Good and Caring.Amen
Lord, we look to You to work
within us a spirit of Patient Waiting.
Grant me gracious Lord hope and
expectation as I watch for You
to display Your favour in my life.
Keep me from losing heart or
becoming impatient, and cause
me to continue to pray as I wait
to see Your powerful hand at work.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, Thank You for hearing our
every sigh; so we will cry out to
You and cast our burdens to You.
We also Commit everything to You,
not to worry but instead trust You.
Grant us spirit of patient waiting
with certain hope and expectation
as we watch and pray for You to
display Your grace in our lives. Amen
