Waiting with Quiet Hope

 “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭130:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

https://psalm.bible/psalm-130-5

I am impatient God because I want to control every aspect of my life.  I don’t like to be surprised by change.  I want to plan ahead and keep my days ordered.  Sometimes, I am thrown in helpless stupor when there is an abrupt change in my routine.  Unexpectedly, I get my footing off.

My plans I write in my heart but you oh God establish my steps.  You hold me steady and at times you let go.  All in my best interest, for my own growth and for my soul’s health, I am at the throes of unending challenge.  I am all at once joyous and in tears, yet I remain hopeful that even when I don’t see ahead and I don’t control everything about my life, you hold it in your hands.
