My Soul Waits

My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him. Psalm 62:5 (NASB)

---------------------------------

"My soul waits. Another will is greater, wiser and more intelligent than my own. So I wait. Waiting means there is another whom I trust and from whom I receive. My will, important and essential as it is, finds a will that is more important, more essential ... .

I begin to pray by attempting to manipulate the will of God. I end by putting myself in a position to be moved by his will. Waiting in prayer is a disciplined refusal to act before God acts."
