This was my prayer for my life, for my family. . .

"Make me willing to wait patiently, for the answer I've prayed for so long. Make me willing to listen to thee, and to say, not my will, but thine be done. Make  me willing to thank thee for tears and for heartaches that caused me to pray. Will you make me a vessel the Master can use, keep me willing the rest of my days."
