Psalm 69:13 (KJ21)
But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee: O LORD, in an acceptable time, O God, in the multitude of Thy mercy hear me in the truth of Thy salvation.

Psalm 69:13 (NAS)
But as for me, my prayer is to Thee, O LORD, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Thy lovingkindness, Answer me with Thy saving truth.

Psalm 69:13 (NIVUS)
But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.

Psalm 69:13 (NLT)
But I keep right on praying to you, LORD, hoping this is the time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation.

You have discovered and know that you can only maintain your walk with the Lord through regular times of prayer and worship before Him. You send up supplications for yourself and intercessions for others. You sing hymns and voice entreaties to the Judge of all the earth.

Even as you pray, you are learning to wait on God's time to receive your answers. Adonai has a due season for everything in your life. Your answer may come in the morning, but if it does not, keep trusting God. You still can look forward to the afternoon or the evening. Your answer may wait for high tide, but then again, it may not come until low tide. You must realize that God will give you what you need and desire at the most acceptable time, a time when His perfect will shall be accomplished.

It is important for you to remember that the Lord delights in you and has showered you with His favor. Through Him, your debt of sin has been satisfied and you live in a reconciled and perfected state with God. Now when you pray, you know that Almighty God hears you with abundant mercy. He pays close attention to your requests and will give you an answer according to His kindness.

You know that the Lord your God is trustworthy and faithful. His answers to your prayers will come enveloped in His truth and they will always build you up and support you. Therefore, continue to trust and believe; for the Lord will bring you the liberty, deliverance, and prosperity that you seek. He will preserve you and rescue you. He is your defense, safety, and victory!
