Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 12/15

(Advent is a time to wait for the Lord
   but I have to wonder - 
      is it the Lord who's waiting for me...)

Are you waiting for me, Lord?

Is there something you're waiting for me to do?
   a word you're waiting for me to hear? 

   or a word you're waiting for me to speak?

Is there truth you're waiting for me to discover?
   faith you're waiting for me to grow in?
   hope you're waiting for me to trust? 

Is there someone you're waiting for me to love?
    someone you're waiting for me to forgive?
    someone you're waiting for me to comfort?

Is there a gift you're waiting for me to receive?
    a blessing you're waiting for me to enjoy?
    a talent you're waiting for me to share?

Is there a fault you're waiting for me to acknowledge?
   a sin you're waiting for me to face and confess?
   a merciful pardon you're waiting for me to seek?

Is there someone you're waiting for me to let go?
   a grudge or resentment I need to shake off?
   a habit you're waiting for me to change?
  
Is there a challenge you're waiting for me to accept?
   a change you're waiting for me to make?
   a path you're waiting for me to walk?

Are you waiting for me to draw closer to you?
   waiting to hear my heart in prayer?
   waiting for me to wait for you?

In so many ways, Lord,
   I wait for you and I wait for your love:
       help me see all the ways you're waiting for me...

Amen.
