I have a friend who wants something that they feel they deserve and they actually do, but they are not getting it and they are a little depressed because of it. i need a good scripture or quote to share with this person to give them hope and help them get their confidence back?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
~1 Cor 13:4-8a
Also Luke 18:1-8, the persistent widow

Matthew 6:30-34
30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32: (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Why scripture? Just tell your friend that you know they deserve the mystery thing you mention, and move on. Too much whining is bad for your health.

God gives us freely all He knows is good for us and we lack nothing. If God withheld it, it was our of His Fatherly love.
Romans 8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
