I set urgent goals, make urgent plans, play urgent roles,
Pray urgent prayers, seek urgent interventions for my urgent cares.
God quietly, silently, patiently hears my cries, my fears, my sobbing tears.
God speaks and cage-rattles as silently and patiently to my rage- battles.
And urgency gives way to intentionality ….
And rush to order …
And I step into a different time-line where all that was slow
Is fast
And all that was fast
Is slow
And everything
Is right on time.
"Hear my prayer, O LORD;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!"
(Psalm 143:1 ESV)
" Answer me quickly, O LORD!
My spirit fails!
Hide not your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul."
(Psalm 143:7-8 ESV)
