Watchful and Learning - Re-Posted

Patience is a difficult thing,
But slowly I have learned.
Wisdom is harder to come by,
And often harshly earned.

Have faith the size of mustard seeds!
It’s tougher than it sounds.
Sometimes I question if You’re there,
Though proof You’re there abounds.

You’ve placed me where You needed me.
I fought You all the way,
But now I understand the cause
And I will gladly stay.

So many things that You expect
I just can’t comprehend,
But with great patience You teach me
And I learn, in the end.

But some concepts are simpler,
Your words are clear and plain.
So I will watch and wait and pray
Until You come again.

Colossians 4:2
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
