The Time

The Time

1 Corinthians 4:5

I know it is Your job

To make the many changes

That are happening in me

I am making it harder

Than it really has to be

I have been in such a hurry

That I have failed to see

The changes that You’ve made

And the answers to the prayers

That I’ve already prayed

Sometimes I try so hard

To be a better person

That I don’t stop and see

That I am right now in this moment

Who I’m supposed to be

I want to start enjoying

The good things You are offering

But I'm always afraid

Of losing the progress

The Lord has already made

Im afraid to let myself

Enjoy the things in life

To lose sight of my priorities

And fall off Your path

That’s what really bothers me

Please Father, teach me

How to see the difference

Between Your good blessings

And the traps I must avoid

These are things that stress me

Please help me find the balance

Between just right and too much

I don’t know how to do it yet

You’ve probably already tried

And I haven’t paid attention Ill bet

Basically what im asking

Is help to keep You first

And accepting people and things

As You made them now

And not pass judgement on

When or what I think it should be

Help me to be content

With who I am right now

And enjoy the person You made me

Each day of this journey

As I am now

I don’t want to miss this moment enjoying You

Thank You Father for being You.
