I'm still waiting Lord

A myriad of thoughts running through my mind, emotions playing with my heart, and questions begging for answers.  I'm beginning to feel like my time with the Lord in prayer is far too short for the burdens on my heart.  Many of which are too personal to share online but I will share the song on my heart today.

I Will Wait - Attaboy

I hear you say
Just have faith
But I have almost run out
I can’t take
One more day
I want what I want right now
With all my heart I pray
Give me strength to say

I will wait
Wait on You
All my days if you want me to
Time is cheap
It’s not mine to keep
So I will wait, wait on You

I know you could
I think you should
Fix this situation
I scream your name
It feels in vain
Because of my impatience
My plans have fallen short
Replace my dreams with yours

I will wait
Wait on You
All my days if you want me to
Time is cheap
It’s not mine to keep
So I will wait, wait on You

Forever and a day
As long as it takes

Lord, thank you for the many blessings in my life.  Thank you for the relationships you've allowed to shape and mold me and others.  Thank you mostly for forgiving the sin you knew I would commit, offering grace, and loving me regardless.  Thank you for your Son.  Our time together this morning was so short and my heart is still heavy.  You see and know all of the things on my mind.  I know you have a plan for all the issues bombarding my heart right now and I know there is a purpose for all of the situations I'd like to see going differently.  You have proven time and again that I can trust you with my heart and the hearts of those I love so let me rest in that trust.  Let us not get burdened with the earthly issues that surround our existence.  Give us strength to overcome the pressures that face us each day.  Let us find rest in the perfect relationship that you offer us.  Carry my burden today Lord, I give it to you.  Please carry the burdens of those I love as well.  They may not think to ask but I'm asking for them.  As much as I love them, I know you love them even more.  Thank you for that.  I'll talk to you later tonight, Lord.
