Waiting teaches us to live life in increments, in small pieces rather than large chunks
A prayer
Father, in the wilderness of the Jordan
you sent a messenger to prepare people’s hearts
for the coming of your Son.
Help me to hear his words and repent of my sins,
so that I may clearly see the way to walk,
the truth to speak, and the life to live for Him,
our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
A thought
Waiting teaches us to live life in increments, in small pieces rather than large chunks. Waiting also teaches us to measure our progress slowly. Alcoholics and addicts know this more than most of us: They measure their years of recovery in single days. They know that their waiting in recovery takes place one day at a time. – Holly W. Whitcomb in Seven Spiritual Gifts of Waiting
