Patience As Prayer
Patience – an active dwelling in the present moment – is the mother of expectation. A way to rephrase “waiting patiently in expectation” is “standing vulnerable in the presence of our loving God.”
This is the core of all prayer. It has been helpful to me to realize that, when I pray, I am living my life before God, doing what I know to do, offering my thoughts and actions to the Holy One in expectation that I am being led where I need to go and will be given the courage to do what I need to do because I know who I am in God.
Nouwen
“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.”
