Clarion Call Day 330
Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. James 5:7
Lord
The world waits
Waiting for the pandemic to end
Waiting for freedom and the lifting of restrictions
For a new day
For a new day … like the old days
But we forget
The darkness of the past
That the old days had troubles of their own
We don’t like to wait
We struggle to be patient
We want it all NOW
Instant happiness
Instant satisfaction
Instant perfection
…. Instant lifting of restrictions
Lord,
Wherever we are in the cycle of the seasons
You call upon us to be patient
Patient like the farmer
Trusting that you are in control
And that you are here with us
In the midst of life.
So, ever-patient God,
Please continue to be patient with me
Save me from the impatience that eats away
At my peace
Give me patience to share with others
As we await for your timing
For the seasons to change.
AMEN
