God Tends to us in our Trials

My plea:

Father, my heart is hurting and I am disappointed. I have been seeking something from You for a while and thus far, You have not given it. It seems like it is within Your will but Your timing is different from mine so I don’t know if that is a “no” or a “wait”. Father, as I await the final word from You, will You please tend to my heart? I am hurting and in need of care.
