When You Want God to Hurry | Psalm 70

Have you ever prayed, "God, please hurry"? Psalm 70 captures that exact feeling as the psalmist cries out, "Make haste, O God, to deliver me… O Lord, make no tarrying." It's an honest expression of desperation—a reminder that even faithful believers experience moments when they feel like God isn't moving fast enough. What's powerful about this psalm is not just the urgency, but the openness. The psalmist brings his raw emotion directly to God without hesitation or shame. And that's the lesson for us: God invites us to come to Him exactly as we are, even in our impatience and urgency. While God answers in His perfect timing—often using waiting to shape our character and deepen our trust—we are never wrong to bring our needs, fears, and desires before Him. When you feel like God is taking too long, keep praying, keep trusting, and remember that His timing is always purposeful.
