James 5:7-11
O God, waiting is hard. But harder than waiting is
unknowing.
With the Psalmist I cry “How long?” And will the journey
even take me
to a place I want to be? It seems all I see is the
interminable question mark.
Yet in the waiting, in the unknowing, I experience
compassion and mercy.
There is hope for fruit from the seeds of suffering. So
Lord, cultivate in me
patient endurance and courage. Maybe these are the fruits
you want to give me.
If so, may I feast on them until they nourish and
strengthen me.
