A Prayer for the Christian Who Is Tired | Guided Prayer & Christian Meditation for Trusting God’s Wisdom in Hard Seasons | Psalm 86 | Daily Devotional

This episode includes a special thank you to our listeners and a special announcement from our host!
Do you ever feel poor and needy—not just financially, but emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? You love God and trust Him, but you’re tired of waiting, tired of praying, and tired of wondering why the season hasn’t changed yet?
This episode of 15 Minutes with Jesus is for the Christian who is faithful but weary, devoted but discouraged, and learning how to trust God when life doesn’t resolve quickly.
In this guided Christian prayer and meditation, we sit with Psalm 86, a prayer David cried out during years of suffering, uncertainty, and delay. David wasn’t just struggling with lack — he was being formed. And this Psalm shows us what it looks like to trust God not as a genie, but as a Father who knows what we need before we ask.
This episode gently addresses the deeper questions many Christians wrestle with in hard seasons:
• Why does God sometimes delay deliverance?• Why do my prayers feel unanswered?• How do I trust God when I’m exhausted or discouraged?• What is God doing in me while I’m waiting?• How do I surrender without becoming passive or hopeless?• What if God cares more about my character than my comfort?
Through Scripture reflection, prayer, and meditation, we explore the difference between transactional faith and relational trust — and why God often uses seasons of lack, waiting, and uncertainty to shape our hearts, deepen our dependence on Him, and form us into who we’re becoming.
This episode is especially for you if you’re navigating:
• anxiety or discouragement in a long season• disappointment with God’s timing• spiritual confusion or dryness• depression or emotional heaviness• disillusionment with prosperity-focused Christianity• the tension between asking God for help and surrendering to His will
Rather than rushing past the pain, this prayer creates space to bring your whole self before God — your fears, questions, doubts, and hopes — and to learn how to trust Him in the process, not just after it ends.
If you’re in a season where you need endurance more than answers, presence more than fixes, and formation more than quick relief, come sit with Jesus for these 15 minutes.
You don’t have to rush the work God is doing in you.
