I asked God for patience,
and He sent me a trial
for He wanted to see . . .
if through it I’d smile.

 But instead I cried,
for I was not asking
to be tried nor go . . .
through any testing.

 I asked God for calm,
and He sent me a storm
for He wanted to see . . .
how I would perform.

 But, I was not ready,
for what was ahead
so I pouted about it . . .
and blamed Him instead.

 I asked God to be patient,
but He said to me . . .
My child I tried but you were
too stubborn to be.

 So, I asked Him to forgive,
my stiff-neck behavior
and to bless me instead . . .
with more mercy and favor!

 Proverbs 29:1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
