Timing is Everything

On thinking of the busyness of the last two weeks and wondering out loud about God's timing and decisions, this was helpful (it didn't provide an answer or make anything clear to me, but helpful none the less).

Oh God, grant us a sense of your timing.
In this season of short days and long nights,
of grey and white and cold,
teach us the lessons of beginnings;
that such waitings and endings may be the starting place,
a planting of seeds which bring to birth what is ready to be born--
something right and just and different,
a new song, a deeper relationship, a fuller love--
in the fullness of your time.

O God, grant us the sense of your timing
