Wait
One with God, I wait, breathing into the unknown.

In Hebrew, one translation of the word wait, or Qavah, is to bind together. As I wait for news about a certain outcome or grapple for answers to a troubling issue, I imagine myself intertwined with God like sturdy strands of cord, bound together as one. Holding this image relieves any anxiety I may be feeling.

One with God, I relax, breathe into the unknown, and wait. Rather than trying to force a particular outcome, I rest in God and trust in divine wisdom.

I see this interlude as a respite for my soul. As I exercise patience, I cultivate my spiritual mettle. When the pause is over, I am renewed and ready to act from God-given insight.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.—Psalm 130:5

Really like this. I had the thought when reading it, "I could have written this."

As a friend told me many years ago, "Put it out to the Universe and see what you get back." You breathe in the goodness, and let go of what no longer serves us in today. I was told to breathe in, take it to where you need it, hold and then let go.
