Speed it up . . will you?

Speed it up . .  will you?

Ps. 143: 7

Answer me speedily, [NOW! ! !] O Lord, [or my situation may be irreparable]

for my spirit fails; [I’m exhausted and can’t hold out no longer]

hide not Your face from me, [don’t refuse or delay to look favorably upon me]

lest I become like those who go down into the pit (the grave). [ Answer me now  . . . or I’m not going to survive!]

Pray the Word:
Lord, we’re an impatient people with our lack of patience reflected in our modern culture where with every act we expect an immediate response – we’ve become a people who are annoyed, irritated and edgy if something isn’t INSTANT.  But our relationship with You, Lord, is a process that requires a patient trust that nurtures a growing love for You and a deeper understanding of Your will for our lives. Help us to have the ability to endure waiting, delay, or frustration without becoming annoyed or upset, and to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.
