Patience is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, yet it is often one of the hardest to practice. Waiting does not come naturally to us—especially when we are holding onto a promise from God or seeking direction for our lives. Still, we are called to trust and to wait. We are meant to bear this fruit, even in seasons of uncertainty. Many of us are waiting on something God has promised or seeking clarity on what to do next. My prayer is that this next poem encourages you to be still, to wait with faith, and to hold on tightly to Him.
I am so lost right now, unsure of what to do.
Yet even in this darkness, I know You’re calling me to You.
I don’t know where I’m going or where I’m meant to stand
But You are still the Potter, and my life is in Your hands.
I know I am supposed to do the great commission
But how do I carry out this mission?
I open the Word, yet all I see are empty pages
Instead of You, demons visit me, as I go through these silent phases
But still I cry, Holy Spirit, speak! Let Your fire fall anew
For every voice of darkness flees at just one word from You.
I feel like Abraham, sent to an unknown land
Like Israel in the desert with no direction, no map within my hand.
Was leaving Egypt foolishness? Or was it Your design?
This waiting test my patience and the limits of my mind.
I’m singing through the tears I shed, still marching in these circles
Yet Jericho stands mocking me despite my faithful worship.
But walls don’t fall by striving — they collapse when You command
So, I will wait in trembling hope until You move Your hand.
Your silence is a furnace where my restless heart is stilled
But even in the waiting, You are shaping me to yield
So here I stand surrendered, though I tremble at Your will
Reveal to me Your purpose, Lord, while I remain still.
