A Prayer When It’s Urgent but God Hasn’t Answered
Your Daily Prayer
What do you do when you desperately need God to intervene, but your prayers seem unanswered?
Maybe you're facing a crisis, waiting for important news, or dealing with a situation that feels too urgent to wait another day.

You've prayed. You've asked others to pray. You've done everything you know to do.
And still, nothing seems to change.
In today's Your Daily Prayer, Kristine Brown reflects on the desperation of waiting for God's help and the encouragement we can find in Psalm 40.
David knew what it meant to cry out urgently to God. In Psalm 40:17, he prayed, “You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.”
But David also remembered how God had helped him before.
When we face unanswered prayers, we can follow his example by remembering God's faithfulness, bringing our fears honestly to Him, and trusting that He has not abandoned us.
If you're waiting for an answer and struggling to hold on to hope, this prayer is for you.
Today's Scripture:
“As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.” — Psalm 40:17 (NLT)
