FAITH: Patience! + PRAYER: Lord, I Come As A Child ...!

Patience Is A Virtue!
AND
Patient
Obedient
Endeavoring
Through Christ Jesus
Leads Unto Eternal Life!

Getting Flustered
Because You Can't Get
Instant Gratification
Only Wears On The Nerves
AND
Does Not Gain One
A Blessing
BUT
Ascribes To One
A Curse!

Do You Believe
The Living Word Says:

"But Let Patience Have
Her Perfect Work ...!"

Because It Needed Something Cute To Say?!

No!
Patience Is A Necessity
For God's Children
BECAUSE
Instant Gratification
Is
Satan's Best ... Ploy
For
A Botched Life ... Play!

Take Time To Think!
Take Time To Pray!
Take A Little Breath
AND
Ask Jesus Christ
To Lead You On Your Way!

Hasty Pudding Ain't Tasty!
It's Just Prepared Fast
AND
That Is All You Get
Besides Wasted Ingredients
AND
Grimaces
From The Faces
Whose Tongues
Your Abomination Did Blast!

So, Be Patient ...

Try Counting
From One To 100
Using Only One Sound
While Enunciating Every Number!
If
You Can Do That
For Sure, My Friend
You Can Surely Steal
Lightning's Thunder Fast!

One Step!
Two Steps!
Three Steps!
Four!
Foot
In Front Foot
Walking
That's How You Exit a Door!

Running Through Glass Doors
Breaks the Glass
AND
Hurts
AND
Also Cuts You Up
So, Please
Take A Page
Out Of Patience's Book
AND
By Jesus
Your Name Will Be Written
Plain
Boldly
In The Lamb's Book Of Life
Where None 
- No Angel
No Demon
No Loose Man Playing King -
Can Remove It
For
You Will Have
- In Patience -
Walked With The Master
AND
Will
- In The Glorious Day -
With The Other Faithful
Patient Ones
Be Joyfully Celebrating!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Come To You As A Child

Seeking Guidance!

In Sincerity Of Heart, Lord

I Desire To Be Perfect

So I Am Pleading With You

To Help Me To Allow

Patience

To Do Her Perfect Work In Me

So That

In The Coming Day

I Will Have Held On The Promise

For The Win

To Become Perfect As My Master

Who Is Holy And True!

Help Me Not To Get Caught Up

In The Minutiae Of This World

Wrangling

Wresting

Wrestling To Be Eminent

And

Ending Up

Living In And With Known Sin

And

In Ratcheted Chains

Struggling To Be Free

But

In Vain!

Father,

Open My Eyes

Unstop My Ears

And

Fashion Me A New Heart

So That I Will Willingly

Give Unto You

For Safe Keeping

My Will And My Way!

Please Bound Up My Will

To Do Your Bidding

So That I From You May Never Stray

To Carry On Like A Clamoring Upstart!

Lift Me Up To Honor You, Lord!

And

Teach Me To Walk In Faithful Patience

Each Day!

And, Lord,

Let Not Satan Get The Mastery Of Me

To Turn Me Into A Knackered Out Steed

For

I Love

And

Worship

Only You!

Please Bless Me

So That

Spiritually

In Have Need Of Nothing!

In Jesus' Holy Name I Humbly Plead!

Save Me!

AMEN.
