Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 4/23

 Lord, I'm sure to spend a good part of this day
   waiting...

I'll wait for people to arrive 

    and for people to leave,
I'll wait for things to happen - or not, 

   and I'll wait for time to pass 

      and a new day to come...

I'll wait for meetings to begin 

   and wait even longer for meetings to be over;
I'll wait for calls, texts and mail 

   and I'll wait for breaks for coffee and for lunch...

 

And I'll wait for the day to be over

   and I'll wait for sleep to come

        and then for the new day to dawn...

I'll wait for you, Lord:
  I'll wait for you to show your face,

     to speak a word of comfort,

        a word of challenge

     - perhaps a word of mercy...

And I'll wait for myself when I stall,

   hold back and waste time,

I'll wait for myself to catch up,

   to catch up with you, Lord,
      in so many different ways...

No doubt about it, Lord,

   I'm sure to spend a good part of this day
      waiting...

Will you wait with me, Lord?

Will you be patient and wait with me?

Will you keep me company in my waiting?

 

I hope so, Lord,

   because it's so hard to wait alone...

 

Amen.
