This Sunday (January 25, 2015) at St. John’s

For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him. Psalm 62:6

I used to think I was so smart, because when things got tough, I knew exactly what action to take.  When I was going through a divorce, I was so heartbroken and felt so much grief.  I took lots of actions like going to counseling, getting involved with a personal growth community, and getting more involved with church.  I was actually looking for something to take away the pain of the grief, sadness and loss I was feeling.  So I took action.

Everything I did was really very healthy.  It wasn’t that I was doing things that were bad for me, but it was that nothing was going to make the pain go away, except living through it.  I had to walk through that pain, grief and loss.  I needed to sit still…. I needed to sit in silence for awhile and wait upon God.

Now I know when I feel anxious or in deep grief, I need to be silent and wait on God, because therein lies my hope, rather than in any action I might take.

Blessings as you finish your week!

Love, Rebecca+
