praying, waiting, accomplishing, trusting, hoping... all to love!

We keep on praying, asking God these few
things: to enable you to live worthy
of His high call. May He give pow’r to you
to bring about, complete then (on earth) the
heav-en-ly good things faith prompts you to do.
And too, we wait upon the LORD, for He
is who it is that makes our strength renewed,
so we will wing it, soar like eagles. We 
will run and be not weary, & then too
we'll walk (not stumble irreparably),
& if we cannot walk we’ll stand in view
(of you) for we are waiters and we’ll see
enough to know what you want us to do, 
and all the while we’ll be singing of “he”
(who taught us to trust God, and then “adieu”
our weak and faithless ways) he faithfully
embodied confidence, & too eschewed
his own will for your will, & then calls me
within this cloud of un-knowing to “glue”
myself to him and stick around to see
what faithful loving hope can make and do,
that what we hope for will quite act-u-’lly 
then happen, come about, accomplish too
- gives certainty about things we can’t (yet) see! 

.......

So we keep on praying, asking God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 2 Thessalonians 1:11 (PM Version)

I wait on the LORD, for He is the one that renews my strength. I will soar with wings like eagles. I will run and not grow weary. I will walk and not stumble. Isaiah 40:31(PM Version)

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us certainty about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (PM Version)
