Prayer

Lord, thank you for waiting for  me.
And when I forget, you remind me of your glorious presence.
 When I call out in times of want you serenade me with your birds of song
When I am filled with loneliness, you send the sun to embrace me in its warmth
When I have confusion you send me a fire in my belly to show me the answer
When I cry out in deep sorrow you cry with me with tears of rain
When I am tired you offer me a place to rest my head
When I am lost you show me stars to lead the way
When I am without faith you offer the birds, the sun, the rain, the rest, the stars and my belly and you wait…........and you wait.

This is lovely. Isn't it wonderful that our Lord is so very patient with us. Oh if I could just have that kind of patience with others.
