Me: We have to hurry the show is about to start.

Prodigal:  I will be there.

 

 

Lord, I know there are countless times

When I must wait patiently for You.

Waiting develops endurance.

It strengthens my faith

And deepens my dependence of You.

 

I know that You are Sovereign God–

Not an errand boy

Responding to the snap of my finger.

I know Your timing is neatly wrapped

In Your incomparable wisdom.

 

But, Lord

You have appointed prayer

To obtain answers!

Even David the Psalmist cried

With confident boldness:

“It is time, O Lord, for you to act.”

 

God, on this silent sunless morning

When I am hedged in on every side

I too cry boldly.

You are my Father, and I am Your child.

So, Lord, could You hurry a little?

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:  and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Daniel 2:44
