please Lord, i could use some patience...and can you give it to me right now?!

waiting...
i have never been known as a soul with any sort of patience.  i have feet which constantly dance to the rhythms of my thoughts.  a mind which composes music that only i seem to appreciate. 
i used to think this a curse, 
and just recently 
embraced 'this condition' 
a gift.
with many changes in front of me
(several of which i have absolutely no control)
i seek to have the patience to endure
the wait with grace
i can't breath!
just pray! i tell myself.  
how silly to think i actually
have any control in what life brings my way...i'm so conceded! so arrogant!
if i could just give all my worries to the big guy with the big shoulder's i could go about my day and use my boundless energy to serve Him in whatever manner he had planned. i really need to trust in this...

this is so much easier said than done...so i pray. i pray for patience it takes during the wait...the wait it takes to see life thru.  God bless me and all my shortcomings...especially my inability to let go and give it all to you, Lord!

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
