Dear LORD,
I never want to forget
That you are all-satisfying
And that You have my best interests
At heart
Infinitely more than I do.
I’ve made an application
Hedged my bets
Taken a leap of faith
And now I find myself in limbo
Waiting
Hoping
Day dreaming about how life would be
With a positive outcome
But when I sleep I am haunted by those
Dreaded words-
“We regret to inform you..”
Rather inform my heart, O God, of a
Greater reality than admissions letters
And offers from Human Resources –
That Your plans
Are better than mine,
That if I succeed
My mind would not get impaled
By a rod of pride,
And if I am not selected
May this tender heart of mine
Be secure enough to tremble yet not
Be shattered.
Ground this mind and
Steady this heart
To trust you
No matter the outcome.
In Jesus’ Name
Amen.
