From Howard Thurman, Deep Is the Hunger, this prayer, O God, I Need Thee:
I Need Thy Sense of Time
Always I have an underlying anxiety about things.
Sometimes I am in a hurry to achieve my ends and am completely without patience.
It is hard for me to realize that some growth is slow, that all processes are not swift.
I cannot always discriminate between what takes time to develop and what can be rushed, because my sense of time is dulled.
I measure things in terms of happenings. O to understand the meaning of perspective that I may do all things with a profound sense of leisure – of time.
