Patience
Gracious
God, it’s so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait
for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a
new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of
is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and
waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring
me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me
knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is
still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart
longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance
that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my
mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping
around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your
love.
