I wait upon you, Lord.

 Amen. To "wait upon the Lord" is one of the most profound and active postures of faith. It is not passive idleness, but a focused, hopeful, and expectant trust in His character and timing.

Here is a prayerful poem for the season of waiting.

---

I Wait Upon You, Lord

I wait upon You, Lord.

Not in the silence of despair,

Not in the clenching grip of fear,

But in the stillness of a trusting prayer.

I wait upon You, Lord.

I still my soul,I cease my strive,

In this quiet place,I feel alive.

For waiting is the work I do,

My active faith,placed firm in You.

I wait upon You, Lord.

As watchmen wait for morning's light,

Sure of the dawn,after the night.

So I am sure,my help will come,

My heart beats to a different drum.

I wait upon You, Lord.

I trade my strength,so frail and small,

For Yours,which carries through it all.

I mount up with wings,an eagle's flight,

Renewed and lifted by Your might.

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”(Isaiah 40:31)

I wait upon You, Lord.

For plans You have,not I, can make,

A path of peace for my soul's sake.

I wait upon Your word,Your cue,

My hope is secure,for it rests in You.

So here I am. My hands release

My timelines and my need to know.

In this holy,expectant peace,

I will not fret,I will not go.

I wait upon You, Lord.

My Savior,my Hope, my King.

My soul finds rest in everything

You are,and will forever be.

I wait,and I will wait, for Thee.
