Lord, Hold Us While We Wait
soulful prayer for the long hours of waiting
Michael's wife sits beside him while they wait for the results of a serious medical scan. He jokes when he is nervous, while messages from church friends keep lighting up her phone.
She asks Jesus for peace in the waiting, wisdom for Michael's doctors, and enough strength for today. The prayer stays with the peace and strength they need today.
