Why Am I so Impatient? Who do I think I am? I must think I am the supreme commander of the universe. I want everything, and I want it now. It’s good to have a plan and move forward in life. It’s good to dream big and not settle for the status quo. But I hate it when other people expect me to get in line with their agendas. So why do I do that to other people? You must think I’m pretty ungrateful, Lord. I want more than I have, and that makes me crabby, feeling sorry for myself. Is there hope for me? Can you teach me how to wait? I know that’s how your heroes of old learned your ways: “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry” (Psalm 40:1). It’s impossible to mistake your love for me. Love is the only answer for what could have led you to punish your Son for my sins. It’s impossible to mistake your wisdom--the world around me is so beautiful and well ordered. You are a genius beyond all understanding. I know your strength and power have no limits. Please help me relax and enjoy you and the people around me more. Help me get my life more in tune with your agenda. What you want is more important than what I want. Psalm 40:1 Psalm 40:1 ESV 1 I waited patiently for the Lord ; he inclined to me and heard my cry. 10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation. your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me. O Lord , make haste to help me! who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt! who say to me, “Aha, Aha!” rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord !” but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!
