These are excerpts from Andrew Murray's book titled Waiting on God.
Psalm 25:3
Let none that wait on Thee be ashamed.
Just think for a moment of the many waiting ones who need that prayer, how many are sick and weary and alone and feel as if their prayers are not answered. They sometimes fear that their hope will be put to shame.
With all these, it is only that they have not yet learned the secret of full waiting on God. They just need what we all need, the living assurance that waiting on God can never be in vain. Let us remember all who are in danger of fainting or being weary, and unite in the cry, "Let none that wait on Thee be ashamed!"
Let this be the message to all God's tried and weary ones, that there are more people praying for them than they know about. Let it inspire us all with new courage--for who is there who is not at times ready to faint and be weary?
From many a witness, the cry comes to everyone who needs help--brother, sister, tried one, "Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that wait on the Lord."
Blessed Father, we humbly beseech You let none who wait on You be ashamed; no, not one. Some are weary, and the time of waiting seems long. And some are feeble and scarcely know how to wait. And some are so entangled in the effort of their prayers and their work, they think
they can find no time to wait continually. Father, teach us all how to wait! Teach us to think of each other, and pray for each other. Father, let none that wait on You be ashamed!
For Jesus' sake.
Amen.
My soul, wait thou only upon God!
