My Prayers Have No Expiration Dates

Heavenly Father,
​
Your word tells us to be still and wait on the Lord.  Father, teach me how to wait. Lord, God grant me patience to wait on answers to prayers I have prayed.  Help me to realize that my prayers will not expire while I am waiting on You to answer.  While I am waiting on You, I will serve more, worship more, and study more.  Waiting is a good time for me to cultivate Your word in my life. Waiting will strenghten my patience and my prayer life. God I will seek You and only You while I wait.

In Jesus Name,
Amen
