Wait We Must

God answers our prayers
he loves us completely
yet God says to wait
in his time for our healing

Anxious, selfish
like a child in a tantrum
decibels rising,
pacing about the floor

Listening to Madison Avenue
to the chatter, the chaos
the words on the TV
the urgency of Twitter

We don’t have time to wait
we need it now, yesterday,
instant coffee in the microwave
texting while we are driving

Yet God says to wait
healing in his time only
nothing we can do but wait
and have peace in his provision
