Lord, help me accept the things I cannot change.
The things only You can rearrange.
Help me be at peace with letting my chips fall where they may.
Let me get out of Your way.
Keep the inner tantrums at bay.
I should just trust and not try to persuade.

Though I’ve been on this journey too long.
I’m ready to parade…rest.
I’m pretty sure I’ve passed the test.
Now, Lord, can I please get blessed?
I need my feet caressed
from standing in the need,
and in the garden planting seeds.
I even decided to concede
and gave up positions so others can be on track to succeed.

Indeed, I’m being contradictory.
Pushing for immediate change,
though I know the history.
Thinking my contributions are by my own credibility.
He may not come when you want Him,
but He’ll be there right on time.
I just hope this is the last time
I have to deal with feeling
like I’ve wasted time.
