Weekly Meditation Verse: Psalm 130 \u201cmy soul waits for the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have never been very good at waiting, but I have certainly had to learn patience over the last few years. At the beginning of this year, I had a mind whirling with ideas of what I should do next, in fact I was exhausted thinking about it when in a Sunday service at my home church, the children gave out cards that they had made in Sunday School the previous week. When I opened mine which was beautifully decorated with flowers and leaves, the verse inside was Psalm 27:14 \u201cWait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.\u201d The message is so clear, it\u2019s in there twice! What a relief, it\u2019s not all on me, the Lord has it in hand. I pinned the card to my notice board so that I see it every day and remember to wait, not rush ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A-Z of Wellbeing: Ruth Rice Pg 262<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wait<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Lord<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Lord, this is so hard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You do not know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much I long<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To see it happen straight away<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yes, I know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How hard it is to wait<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hear You say<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve waited<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am still waiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For you to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slow down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Show up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And pray<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To come to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To stay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wait for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I wait for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I will take the weight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in this waiting room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll be set free<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From every weight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
