Wait for the Lord (Psalm 37:34; NIV).
I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn
(Psalm 130:6; NLT).
1. I wait in silence,
Longing to hear your voice.
2. I wait in stillness,
Longing to share your life.
3. I wait, alone, Lord,
Longing to take your hand.
4. I wait in darkness,
Longing to see your light.

Waiting is a spiritual discipline the modern church and society has forgotten sadly
That’s so sad. One of the things I love about my local church is that there is plenty of silence during weekday masses. I’m not a fan of lots of singing and talking out loud XXXX
That is great Ruth, sadly silence is under-rated nowadays. Incidentally since this post I have learned a precious lesson about waiting today, which became todays post for me. Our God is Good sister, let us wait for Him.🙏
Hi Alan, it’s always lovely to hear your “voice”. Yes, silence is so important, because we can’t listen to what God wants to say to us unless we stop speaking. I’d love to hear a bit more about what you have learned, if you want to share, but I don’t want to pry if it’s private XXXXX
It is always a pleasure and blessing to share with you sister. Email me your questions anytime.😁
Thank you! You too. xxx
