Dear God,

After you have done all you can do, what more can you do? Sometimes I ask myself this question, God.

I have done all I can do for now. I know that. Doesn't mean in a few days I can't try again. But for now I have to let it go, rest easy in your hands. Be attentive to your voice that tells me something else.

Waiting, that time of being still, trusting, allowing time to fulfill its own destiny is difficult sometimes. I want to change something, remove obstacles, help. Yet, I have to acknowledge that trusting you in the waiting time may be my own God-given task. And I want to do it well.

You are eternally kind, Great God. You must surely look at your people and wonder if we will ever get it. All of us at some time or another. We have so much to learn. Waiting, trusting, listening.

May I model
your loving patience,
O God,
in the waiting time.
May I be
an example
of trust,
leaning upon the
One Great Compassionate God.
May I be yours,
listening.

Love, Andrea
