Genesis 8:7 (NIV) says:
And he sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
To pray using this verse, you can focus on themes of waiting on God, divine timing, trust, and seeking confirmation before moving forward. Here’s an example prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Just as Noah sent out the raven to test the waters, I seek Your guidance and wisdom in my life. Sometimes, I feel like I am searching for answers, waiting for clarity, and unsure of what’s ahead. Lord, teach me to trust Your perfect timing and to move only when You lead me.
Help me not to rush ahead of Your plans, but to discern the signs and confirmations You provide. Strengthen my faith so that I don’t grow weary in the waiting. Even when I don’t see the full picture, I trust that You are preparing a place of safety, restoration, and new beginnings for me.
Father, just as the floodwaters eventually receded, I believe that every storm in my life will pass in Your perfect time. Let me remain patient, faithful, and obedient as I wait on You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏽
