desiring to see you as you are
"and after my skin has been destroyed, I will see God, I myself will see him"
lord,
give my heart the tranquility to wait.
so i wouldnt obscure your meanings and ways
with my own haste to understand and be healed.
give me the grace to dwell in my processes,
weaknesses and struggles,
do not let me hurry past my dark hours
so that they leave me as unlearned as i was
entering them.
let me in my darkness know that you are light
in my desert know that you are water
in my hopelesness that you are hope
and in my death that you are alive.
so that not only my ears would have heard
but my eyes seen
and heart grasped.

Hey, great writing. I am reading “the Jesus i newer knew” by Philip Jancey and there is one part when he is writing about Christ temptation in the wilderness and what he says is that satan tempted him by offering him shortcuts. I really like what you wrote on waiting on God.
Your psalm rely touched my heart!
forwarded to a friend and was touched too!
thanks!
