It’s Melodic Monday!! Today’s song is While I’m Waiting by John Waller.”The important thing to remember while we are waiting on God is to not just wait, but to actively wait,” John declares on his website. “Serve, worship, and be faithful with what you have, where you are…even while you wait.” That was exactly what I needed to hear while I am going through a period of waiting in my life. I’m praying for clear guidance and wisdom to discern God’s will in my life. All is well but waiting is never easy. But God is good – all the time!!!

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve you while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

Gracious God,
We come to you with unpatient hearts and minds.
Give us your peace!
Give us your wisdom to discern.
Give us strength to faithfully serve you
no matter what’s going on in our lives.

Give us faith to believe in your promises
and act based on them and not based on our feelings.

We bring our hearts, minds and souls to you.
We want to serve you, show us the way.
Thank you for knowing the big picture
when all we can see are unimportant details.
Bless us, Lord, bless us.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
