If you find it hard to wait
And work yourself into a state,
Such as this you can't ignore,
For patience knocks upon your door.
Patience is a hard-won prize
And can't be learned through compromise.
You must choose to let her in
And let her healing work begin.
Patience is a precious gift.
Your thinking patterns she will sift
Until you learn to be at rest
And lean on God through every test.
He will cause stress to recede
And oversee your every need,
Giving you an inner calm
As a well-earned healing balm.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed
on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
