My Realization

Many hours after I prayed today for the
things I want and think I need!

I soon become dismayed when my prayer
was not answered as I thought it should.

Than, I close my eyes sitting quietly listening,
it comes to me.

With all my fussing, my clamoring, my agonizing
and pleading to You.

I realize there, that moment I simply can not ever
change or hurry You along.

Patience, is what I pray for today for all those I
meet and for me too.

Knowing, that You answer prayers when they
are prayed in Your own time.
