An Invitation . . .
“When the time comes,
“When the time comes,
I ask you to take up your position
for prayer
for prayer
(and sitting is usually best for most of us)
and then, having asked the help of the Spirit,
to be content to wait patiently, expectantly,
lovingly, longingly.
and then, having asked the help of the Spirit,
to be content to wait patiently, expectantly,
lovingly, longingly.
Try to realize that this
is all you can do for yourself.
is all you can do for yourself.
God must do the rest.
See yourself as the parched ground looking upwards
waiting patiently for the rain to fall.
You can only wait.”
See yourself as the parched ground looking upwards
waiting patiently for the rain to fall.
You can only wait.”
