Sometimes these words Jesus taught us to pray, are a lot easier spoken out than patiently waited out.
We don't always know what God's will is in every given situation.
Sometimes we do.
When we do we may not know His timing.
Below is a little something I wrote a few years back when I was struggling with that very subject.
I say that like I don't struggle with that anymore.
Ha!
Not true.
It's not that I have completely overcome this issue.
Just that it is becoming easier for me to be patient with He who has given me his promises.
It’s hard sometimes to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.
We see our world in limited view, knowing our need; at least we think we do.
We do our best to live obediently, without complaint, expediently.
Not comparing ourselves to one another, not being jealous of sister or brother.
Somehow, some way, hard as we try, we just can’t help but wonder why;
God seems to have overlooked our need, and still has neglected to water our seed.
As hard as it is to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.
Let us remember his motive is pure love, He looks over us all, from his throne above.
His vision encompasses our entire life, from beginning to end, every joy; every strife.
He knows the plans he has for us, they are good not evil, in this we must trust.
Knowing down deep within our hearts, through all the tears and false starts;
God’s Word is ever and always true; HE will always see his promises through.
If we fully delight ourselves in Him, not just in part, he will give us the desires of our heart.
