It seems that we often find ourselves repeating over and over again certain petitions to you, Loving God. Sometimes it is our desire to end something that is challenging us like illness, anxiety, depression and many others. Others have us wanting strength to make it through the day or to face something we are anticipation. Still other times find us wanting a certain outcome. All of these mark that sometimes our prayers aren answered with a “not yet,”ever present God. Help us to find patience during those times and feel your presence when faced with those times. Amen
