Overcoming impatience
When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions: Wait for hope to appear. Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face. The "worst" is never the worst. ~Lamentations 3:28-30-The Message Lately, the most consistent and overriding message I have received in my meditation time is the simple word : “Wait”. When I want things to change immediately, when I want to take matters in my own hands and “make something happen”, the Master quietly sits me down in my chair and says—“wait.” … those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind. Isaiah 40 I must keep at the planting and the working, knowing that if I but wait upon him, He will keep me on the path He desires…and will bestow “fresh strength”. Wait.
