The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You said You would wait so You could be kind to me. The waiting is not because You are slow. It is because the waiting is part of Your kindness. The healing I have prayed for has not come fast. The change I hoped for has not come fast. But You are not waiting against me. You are waiting for me. So when Your kindness comes, it comes whole and not broken by rushing. Let me wait on You, who are waiting on me. Two kinds of patience meeting in the kitchen. That is a slow and honest gift. Amen.
