When I Am Weak...

I want it to be easy.
I need it to be difficult.

I want to hear Your voice.
I need to wait on You.

I want a sign.
I need to pray.

I want the answer.
I need Your patience.

I want it to be clear.
I need Your truth.

I want to do it on my own.
I need Your Spirit.

I want control.
I need You to lead me.

I want to be saved from pain.
I need Your peace no matter
what happens.

I want to be angry.
I need to rejoice in You.

I want to believe that I have arrived.
I need to learn.

I want to forget Your commands.
I need to obey them.

I want to believe that I am strong enough.
I need to remember that "when I am weak,
then I am strong."
