Time takes Time

In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don’t struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while.  ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition (Kindle Locations 1302-1304).

God, give me patience,
and I want it now!
God, give me inspiration
but don’t expect me to wait,
to listen, to participate
in the conversation.
Just zap me, give me brilliance
and let it shine through.
But this prayer and meditation.
Don’t you know I’m busy?
I talk to you. Mutter as I walk
from one place to the next.
Cross myself when I’m alone,
a sign for you (or is it for me?)
that I’m seeking your help.
I’ve been here long enough, God.
They say don’t leave
until the miracle happens.
I’ve stuck around.
I’ve given you years.
But setting aside a few minutes
every single day, well, God,
I don’t have time!
