In the book of Psalms eight times in six verses darling David asks the Lord to, “Make haste,” in coming to his aid. In today's vernacular we’d say such things as: “Hurry up, Lord”; “Get a move on, God”; or, “Step on it”; etc. The spiritual elite among us would never dare use these terms, thinking they would border on blaspheme.
But David was human, he never denied his humanity: after all his Creator made him so. Moses, Jeremiah, Jonah, along with the other Bible saints were open and honest before their God in such matters. And God heard and answered them. God can help an honest person; He can’t a self-deceived one.
We all get to our “wits’ end” from time to time. On the verge of giving up, as David puts it, “Ready to halt.” That is, to stop in our tracks. This was the problem with the saints addressed in the book of Hebrews. Thus the Lord tells them, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
I believe the answer's on the way
I believe the Lord has heard me pray
Cast not away your confidence
Saith the Lord our God
Now by faith in Him alone I stand
Firmly held by His Almighty hand
Fully trusting in His promise
Praise the Lord
