The man is described as being in the water

Keep bringing the question to God while you wait for his answer

Assume the delay means God has stopped working

Ignore the question and take full control yourself

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I come to you with my sin and my need. I have gone my own way, and I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Lead me as I wait and follow you from this day on. Amen.

Come to the Lord Who Knows the End

Lord, revive your Church to ask honest questions without losing trust. Make us a people who wait for your timing, stand in awe of your wonders, and keep seeking you when your work is not yet finished, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your Church to Trust and Awe

Father, thank you for the wonders you do, even when I cannot yet see their end. When your timing feels hidden, help me remember that your work is still wise and good, and teach me to give thanks while I wait, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank You for Your Wonders

Pray by naming one situation where you keep asking, 'How long?' Tell God honestly what feels unfinished, ask him for patience, and place the timing in his hands.

Pray Honestly About the Delay

Bring these to God: the person who feels stuck in waiting, the fear that the delay has gone too far, the desire to keep trusting, and the need to see his wonders more clearly.

Pray for Those in a Long Season

Lord, you stand above the waters and above every delay. Your wonders are not random; they are wise, holy, and full of purpose. I praise you because you rule what I cannot understand, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

You Are Over Every Water
