Building Patience

Romans 12:2

Do not change yourselves to be as another,
Change by new thoughts like your Father;
You'll be able to decide what God wants,
Knowing what pleases the omnipotence;
Making a choice between God and you,
Which would you serve having more value;
Can you handle the stress and strain alone,
All of the tension and tumult on your own;
Think nothing of it going to Him in prayer,
Remember He will never be your betrayer;
God ensures needs are met and you receive,
In remaining true and continue to believe;
Remember you need to build your patience,
Be true to yourself as continuing obedience;
God has a lot to do that there is no doubt,
He'll get back to you, so just stick it out;
Maybe the response be slow what is at stake,
For the answer God gives won't be a mistake;
God doesn't rush because of careful thought,
What should not be done and what you ought.
