Good morning…
As clouds continue to blanket the slowly waning moon, we yearn for clarity. The short, simple prayer my spiritual director read over the phone allowed me to sense, on a cellular level, the wholeness of God invisibly at work.
With the fullness of the moon and the ripening of shorter days, as the leaves begin to fall and the quietness of winter waits, clear our heart, Lord. Help us to see.
“During the dry waits we learn a kind of naked trust,” writes Sue Monk Kidd, in God’s Joyful Surprise, on page 80. “We learn to grow still and listen. We learn to hope. Waiting time allows the loving call of God to sink into our marrow and become one with us… We are much better off when we relax with patience knowing that in all that happens the Eternal is there with us, drawing us steadily, almost naturally, forward,”
Relax with patience.
Know that the Eternal is here.
Be drawn,
steadily,
almost naturally,
forward.
“I will wait for the Lord…
and I will hope in him.”
– Isaiah 8:17, RSV
Relax.
Know.
Be drawn.
Clarity might come to those who wait with hope.
…Sue…
