Lightning Bolt

Is the Lord mean?

I’ve wrestled with this lately, and I’m waiting for my lightning bolt any minute. How could he leave me waiting for something so desperately? If he won’t “grant me my wish,” won’t he at least make something good happen for me in the meantime, just to let me know He loves me? This, of course, leads me to be ashamed of how human I have made the Lord. He does not do things my way…for a reason. Yes, I want action and relief, now please. I want a dramatic entrance to save the day. His ways are higher and better. They aren’t different just to be unique, or mean to toughen me up. He is taking action; He is saving me.

God, help me believe that even right now you are making a way for me through the desert. Even right now, I am blind, but you are mixing the mud to help me see. Help me have faith in your goodness because there is only your goodness. Help me have faith in your perfect plan because there is a plan, and it is perfect.
