Give Me Patience, God – Trusting While You Wait

“I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.” – Psalm 40:1

In today’s heartfelt and relatable episode, Reverend Ben Cooper brings a quiet yet powerful reflection from Psalm 40—a passage that speaks directly into the moments when waiting feels endless, prayers feel unanswered, and hope seems delayed.

"Give Me Patience, God."
It’s more than a plea—it’s a cry of the human heart that so many believers can relate to. Whether you're waiting for breakthrough, healing, restoration, direction, or simply for peace, this message is for you.

In this simple but deeply moving teaching, Ben opens up the tension many Christians face: believing in God's faithfulness while sitting in seasons of silence. The psalmist writes, “He turned to me and heard my cry,” reminding us that God is never deaf to our prayers. But often, our impatience makes us question His presence.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why waiting on God can feel painful, but is always purposeful
• How to posture your heart in seasons of delay
• What Psalm 40 reveals about God's timing and tenderness
• Why Jesus remains faithful, even when we grow weary

Sometimes the waiting room becomes the training ground, preparing our character, deepening our faith, and helping us let go of control. Waiting is not wasted when we’re waiting on the Lord. Through the Scripture and the voice of the Holy Spirit, this message will comfort those feeling overlooked or unheard.

Ben reminds us that Jesus Christ is our deliverer, and even if we don’t see immediate results, His Word will carry us through the storm. He is working behind the scenes. And when the answer finally comes—it will be better, deeper, and more beautiful than we imagined.

If you're whispering, “How long, Lord?” this episode will reassure your heart that He has not forgotten you.
