It took Sarah
Sarah was ninety before her son was born
Jacob worked for fourteen years to marry his wife,
Then got two for one!
Forty years in the desert
Before they possessed the promised land
And I complain that all my prayers aren’t answered
Right here
Right now?
They tell me I have to learn to walk,
Before I can run,
Be faithful in the small things
Before running in the big league
Practice hard, learn my to do my part
Before I perform on the main stage,
but I want everything,
Right here
Right now?
The fields are ready to harvest
Labourers few
It all started when the ground was fallow
Tilled the soil planted the seed,
Fed, watered nurtured
Til, the harvests ready to bring home
Serving God is not about winning.
Getting ‘A Blue Peter badge’
It's about preparation,
Recognising His voice
Being obedient to His will,
Right time
Right place
Don’t want to wait forty years
Be past my prime
Be overwhelmed
Out of my depth
Run out of steam,
Distracted, bored
Giving up
Your will, my terms
Is there a little something
A prayer request
That will give me a kick start?
Help grow this raw recruit
Into a prayer worrier for God?
It’s not what you ask for
But how you ask
