When three days seems like a long time...

My Jesus,
How long those three days must have seemed to Your friends.
How awful and how empty.
Thank You that as we remember Your sacrifice, we have the benefit of knowing the outcome, of knowing Your victory. That we are not lost and confused and helpless.
We are not bereft, but reassured of Your power and Your majesty and Your glory.
Waiting can be a dark place Jesus. It is not so easy, as You know.
Thank You that You carry us as we wait on You.
Thank You that our hope is not here, but in You and in Your kingdom.
My soul is waiting on You, though it is hard, because my hope rests in You.
You are my salvation, You are my Rock of Strength, You are my refuge.
Thank You, Oh my God, that I can pour out my heart to You, that You hear my prayers and even when I do not see it, You are answering them.
Be with Your friends, be with those who are waiting on You.
Help us Lord to wait well, and bring You honor and glory.
Power and lovingkindness are Yours my God and my King.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done.
I love You.

Hearts' cries

My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

Thanks David, for telling it like it is and keeping it real.
from Psalm 62:1-2, 5-8, Psalm 63:1-5
