Proverbs 8:34 says, “Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.
Lord how long must I wait? Is two years enough? How about five? I thought ten might have been enough , but I’ve gone far beyond that. I’m in my sixteenth year of waiting and I’ve grown tired. I’m getting older and have been losing the strength.
In Matthew 11:28 it says, " Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Lord I have come many times when I was weary and rested, but even with all the resting, nothing has been accomplished, I’m still waiting for my companion to wake up from her illness.
Lord, what do you have in store for me that you have me wait so long? At what point can I make a decision that I think is right? The longer I wait the harder it is to fight off temptations – you’d think by now my feelings would have built a callous skin where none of this would penetrate.
I recently succumbed. I saw a little crack of the opening of a door and It didn’t take me long to barge in. Someone stronger than me quickly pushed me back out. I didn’t even have time to ask for forgiveness. So here I sit waiting and praying at the gate. I hope I’m at the right one.
Lord, please don’t forget me.
