Waiting...praying...

Tick tock; tick tock. The clock continues its rhythm. Beat beat; beat beat. My heart thumps away. Waiting, waiting, waiting for my appointment. How many times have I been in this same situation? Find a doctor, get a referral, pray for a fast appointment. Wait days, weeks or months for that appointment to come. Pray, pray, pray some more. “Oh, LORD, please let this be the right doctor. Please let this appointment lead to relief from my symptoms. Please heal me. My body is tired—tired from the endless hours of pain, tired from being malnourished, tired from having so very little energy. Send relief soon. Open doors. Perform miracles. Let me see Your glory every day. I know in an instance, in the twinkling of an eye, You can do anything. Please guard and protect us as we travel to the appointment. Please provide wisdom and insight to my physician. Amen.”
