The Joy of Waiting Together
My dear son,
Let tonight be a time to tell me your hopes. What are you longing for, and with whom would you like to share its joy? I am your Father, the one you can ask for help and protection.
You can enjoy my love while you wait for an outcome. Discover the small joys that grow from trusting me. Our conversation does not need to be postponed until the answer comes.
Tonight, pray for my steadfast love to rest on you and the people you cherish. Share your waiting and your gratitude with me. Your Father is here to listen to your hopes, so lie down comfortably and rest.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 33:20–22
WEB20Our soul has waited for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
A short reflection
The worshiping community waits for God as its help and shield, trusts his name, and asks for his steadfast love as it hopes in him.
