Learning to be Patient is a Process
My heart is saying, "Lord, take away this longing, or give me that for which I long for." The Lord is answering, "I must teach you to long for something better."
"Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, til the sun goes down. And that is all that life really means. "
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Matthew 6:34
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow..."
Matthew 6:11
"Give us this day our daily bread."
Deut. 33:25
"...As thy days, so shall thy strength be."
For my loneliness, Lord- Your strength
For my temptation for self-pity, Lord- Your strength
For my uncontrollable longings for this man, Lord- Your strength.
