Waiting for the Lord

From today's Bible reading:

"But for you, O Lord, do I wait;

  it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer" (Psalm 38)

I was struck by how distraught David is in this Psalm.. Even though I am going through a hard time according to my assessment, it really doesn't even come close to that. But I have been desiring that when the moment comes at night when I am so tired that I can't move, when I feel so nauseous and am afraid to fully wake up because I know I will feel unwell, that I would be content, knowing God has ordained my circumstances with perfect wisdom. 

Even David, in his difficult circumstances can say "for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer." It seems that a big part of trusting in God is waiting for Him. I do want to wait for His perfect timing for the baby to sleep better at night. And for my relationships to be where I would like them to be. And for things to change in my life which I think are important and I have wanted for a long time to change. I can trust Him, I can wait for Him, for He will answer.
O Lord, make me a soft, moldable clay in Your loving, gentle, wise, almighty hands, so I can have the gentle and quiet spirit which is precious in the sight of the Lord.
