Today is a shorty so I think for the first time I’m going to put the whole psalm here:
Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
2 Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
3 Let them turn back because of their shame
who say, “Aha, Aha!”
4 May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
5 But I am poor and needy;
hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!
I want things done now. Some things aren’t like that. I’m working on an online VBS and there’s a lot to be done and things were supposed to be in last Friday from folks but they’re not. I point the finger at them yet I’ve been procrastinating as well- yet it’s still 2 weeks away which is a significant amount of time. I just want all the work to be done so I can focus on other things. Instead I live with tension and also cry out make haste to help me Oh Lord! I need help! Yet there’s no one after my life, if a family is mad they didn’t get some paint in their bag, that’s not a big deal. I need to figure out how to let some of this stuff go. It’s good to hear that others have felt the same way. I like the impatient prayer. It’s very real. It’s ok to plead to beg God to change our situations. They remind us that we can leave our panic at heaven’s door and pick up some hope while we’re there.
So we still pray for the Lord to lead us! I pray that God would help me to see that even though I’m stressing God is still blessing and He is even now in this season.
God bless your day, may you be well!
