I Need Thy Sense of Time

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.
