The waiting is the most difficult...

I sat in his presence.  I cried for answers.  I begged for clarity.  I wanted to comprehend my circumstances.  I prayed every verse I knew, and then I was silent.  The waiting was the most difficult...

In time He spoke, and when He did I was astonished.  He explained his plans as I listened speechless.  During the following days I prayed understanding, questioned his plans, accepted his ways and submitted to his will.  I knew He had a purpose and that He would not harm me for he had given me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

Weeks have gone by.  Every day his ways are confirmed. Those around me grieve.  I have the answers, the words of comfort but I am unable to speak. For His plan has not been fulfilled.  There are those who live unaware, unable to deter his will.  I watched helplessly.  Powerless to speak, encourage or grieve.  The waiting is the most difficult...

He has shown great kindness by revealing the why’s.  I am grateful for such thoughtfulness.  However He has not altered his plan.  The days are filled with hidden sorrows.  The waiting is the most difficult...
