When you're waiting, it seems everything ticks.

The clock, your heart, the tapping of your leg.

No stopping it, no magic bag of tricks, but relentless ticking, what to do but beg.

Time just crawls, what does it mean that it's due?

Time never seems to be due on my time.

Always left waiting, time rarely comes through, I try to be humble, but waiting is a crime.

So I cast all my cares to him they belong.

Waiting seems easy when I know that he cares.

That frees me to be sober, to know I belong, and free too to throw the clock down the stairs.

Waiting is there anything harder than being patient?

Joyce Meyer said once that patience is not simply the ability to wait, it's how we behave

while waiting.

Will this meditation from the 5th chapter of 1st Peter will help you stop minding the

time and learn to cast your cares on him who created time?

So to begin your meditation, just settle into a place of quiet stillness and tranquility.
