It is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord (Lamentations 3:26; NLT).
It is good to rest beside you, Lord,
In stillness;
Good to sit with you
In private prayer;
Good to stand before you, Lord,
In silence;
Good to walk in darkness –
You are there.
It is good to hold your hand, Lord,
When we suffer;
Good to be with you
Both day and night;
Good, Lord, to become
Your sacred temple –
One with you, absorbed into
Your light.

Hi Ruth, just to say don’t feel pressured over the award. Take your time – I did mine over four days by saving it to draft. Just do as much or as little as you feel you can. xxx
Hope you got my message – I just haven’t got enough energy, but I’m so grateful to you for asking me XXXXX

So sorry, Lesley, I’ve just read the rules, and just don’t have the energy to take part. I do hope you will do well, though xxxxxxxx
It’s okay Ruth. It is a bit fiddly with all the links you have to set up. I was a bit worried in case it put too much pressure on you so I completely understand. Not to worry. xxx
Thank you so much for your deep understanding. I feel stretched very thin at present XXXXXX
It’s time consuming. Thank goodness they don’t come round often … at least I hope not. 😂 xxx
