Waiting

I go and I sit down

I answer the questions

Hoping I have done my best

Then I wait

I wait with hope

And I wait with expectation,

Will I have done enough?

For the job to be mine

Then the waiting is over

And the answer is no

Again I have been rejected

What is wrong with me?

Am I not employable?

No that’s not the case

As my past jobs

Show proof of that

It is just so frustrating

That time after time

Interview after interview

No permanent job is mine

So what do I do?

Sometimes I despair

But that is no good

It just leaves me broken

So I turn to God

I put my trust in Him

As he knows what is best

And has a perfect plan for me

Sometimes this is hard

Because after all I am human

And I want to be control

Of my own life

But God is in control

He doesn’t reject me

He doesn’t say no to me

He welcomes me into His arms

So I need to wait

I need to trust

And realise after all

God’s timing is perfect
