Receivers in the Wait
LORD, I could wait for all things to be the way I would like them
I could keep myself back from allowing peace to be my song
Until the storms are past
But I know that I am meant to be a receiver
Of all Your good gifts
In the middle of the wait – the Advent
LORD, I will rather open myself to the comfort
That I am known and seen by You
Your loving eye following every moment that I live
Hidden in the shelter of such comfort
Goodness following behind my steps
Transforming the incomplete into wonder
LORD, the wonder of waiting
Not for things to be as I desire them to be
But to wait on hushed tip toe to see
How God will work it all for good
And prove His presence can be enough
To hold us in the Love that knows and bears all things
(Prayer to accompany 4th day of Advent)
