Sticky Note to God ~04.19.21~

Psalm 27:14

Wait For It ~

God is not asking you,
to go figure things out
He’s asking you to wait . . .
without having any doubt.

For He already has,
an answer to your prayer
now He wants you to be
to His directions aware.

God is not saying to you,
to run off and go and fix it
He’s telling you to be still . . .
so you can hear His Spirit.

When He’s ready Your answer,
He will stamp on it the date
now He’s asking you to have
the courage to sit and wait

God is not asking you,
to rush off and go do
He’s saying wait for it . . .
and He’ll show you how to!

Psalm 27:14

Wait on the Lord:
be of good courage,

on the Lord.

Psalm 27:14

In God’s Waiting Room ~

In God’s waiting room,
I sometimes have to stay
it where He teaches me
the whys for His delay.

He wants me to know,
waiting has its due season
and soon I will gather
the answers to His reason.

He uses this waiting time,
for me to focus on His face
so that I can experience . . .
the full measure of His grace.

He wants me to learn,
how to depend on Him
why my pride and conceit
He has to pare and trim.

In God’s waiting room,
I’ve learned all about delay . . .
it’s where He taught me to trust Him
for my tomorrows and today!

It’s No Snap ~

It isn’t easy,
this being strong
it’s really hard
when all’s going wrong.

It isn’t a snap,
this having courage
it’s difficult
not getting discouraged.

It isn’t comfortable,
this waiting and waiting
it’s laborious
keeping from fainting.

It isn’t painless,
this being perfectly still
it’s grueling
finding out God’s will.

But those who take heart,
in God’s timing . . .
on eagle’s wings
you’ll find soaring!

In The Waiting Room ~

In the waiting room,
I often have to sit
though at times . . .
it gives me the fits.

For, I get impatient,
waiting just to hear
God’s answers being
whispered in my ear.

In the waiting room,
I sit and I rock
back and forth I go
listening for His knock.

But, I get so dizzy,
bobbing in my chair
as I’m waiting on God
to take away my care.

In God’s waiting room,
is where I need to be
for it’s when with faith
He empowers me!

Waiting on God,
is liberating . . .

and hope generating.

It is freeing,
this God waiting

and faith activating.

Waiting on God,
is encouraging
it is confidence
and belief stimulating.

It is relieving,

it is anxiety
and fear sparing.

Waiting on God,
is time well spent
for the answers are . . .
always heaven-sent!

I’m Waiting For You Lord ~

I am waiting for You Lord,
because You told me to
and I am anticipating
what it is that You will  do.

I am being strong Lord,
for I have put my trust
in You because I know
You’re always fair and just.

I am waiting for You Lord,
just like You said I should
and I know I can expect
from You something good.

I’m remaining calm Lord,
see I’m not trembling
for I have put my faith in
whatever You’re assembling.

I am waiting for You Lord,
again I say I’m waiting . . .
for I know that with You
there can be no debating!

I’ve Got Courage ~

Lord, I’m not focusing,
in on my fear . . .
instead I’ll center on
knowing You are near.

I’m going to be strong,
instead of being fretful
I’m going to have faith
bold and not fearful.

Lord, I’m going to be calm,
instead of being anxious
in You, I’ll stay relaxed
not jittery or nervous.

I’m not going to be,
afraid of anything
instead I will trust
You with everything.

Lord, I’ve got me courage,
powerful and true . . .
for You have given me
strength to wait on You!

The Waiting Game ~

Waiting can be so hard,
so difficult to do . . .
especially when fear
has its grip on you.

Waiting isn’t a game,
any of us likes to play . . .
but it still toys with us
whenever we pray.

Waiting isn’t easy,
it’s a tough thing to do
especially when doubt
enters into you.

Waiting isn’t a virtue,
most of us possess . . .
with our gut feelings
it likes to mess.

Waiting on the Lord,
takes a  strong heart . . .
and if we learn to trust
faith will do its part!

Two Hearts Aligning ~

Oh, to abide in the Almighty,
to wait in perfect peace . . .
to endure without yielding
with a trust never to cease.

To accept without rejection,
to stay firmly in His hold
to believe without hesitation
with a trust that is bold.

To be ~ instead of be doing,
to be willing to remain
to be unwearied and calm
is to let  His life in yours reign.

To be ~ in His strength,
to be in His mighty hands
to be in His lofty tower
is to find rest in His plans.

Oh, to abide in the Almighty,
to wait for His perfect timing
to endure without fainting
is to see ~ two hearts aligning!

Wait + Trust = Calm ~

Waiting . . .
waiting on my Lord,
praying for His will
praying even harder
learning to be still.

Trusting . . .
trusting in my Lord,
praying for an answer
praying even harder
tranquility I will conquer.

Believing . . .
believing in my Lord
praying for His peace
praying even harder
this calm will never cease.

Waiting . . .
waiting on my Lord
I think I finally got it
praying not to loose it
praying even harder
never to forget it!

God’s Waiting Room ~

In God’s waiting room . . .
I sometimes have to stay
at first I don’t understand
the reasons for His delay.

But ~ while I am in there,
it becomes obvious to me
and He shows me why
I have to wait and see.

He wants me to learn,
how to depend just on Him
why my pride and conceit
He has to pare and trim.

He uses this waiting time,
for me to focus on His face
so that I can experience
the full measure of His grace.

He wants my every thought,
to be centered on His peace
though He takes His time
His love for me doesn’t cease.

He wants me to understand,
that waiting has its due season
and soon I will gather
the answers to His reason.

In God’s waiting room . . .
I’ve learned about delay
and now I understand
how to trust Him every day!
