"Patience"

Waiting on the Lord is sometimes hard to do
When anxieties and pressures are overwhelming you.
You cry out to God, "Which dream should I pursue?"
But inside you have doubts if He'll really come through,

Not realizing all along that God knows your heart.
He wants to fill it with faith and to fill your grocery cart.
God deeply loves you, so you must do your part-
Completely depend on Him right from the start.

Where there is faith, there is no need to worry.
Don't go without sleep or ask God to "Hurry!"
Though your situation seems to get more blurry,
Sit back and be a spectator, and God be the Jury.

He's the only one who makes final sound decisions.
Nothing ever happens unless it's by His provision,
So ask God to show you in a scripture or a vision
What you need to do to stay within His permission.

God never takes long to answer our prayers,
So beware of impatient skeptics and deliberate nay-sayers.
They don't know the Lord's opinion is superior to theirs.
His timing is perfect in all of our affairs.

Be encouraged in your time of waiting.
Precious life is certainly not wasting
Away, as long as it's God's path that you're taking,
He'll give that dream to you, so you don't have to do the chasing.
