How can I share your love,
When I feel such loneliness?
How can I share your peace,
When I feel such unrest?
How can I say rest in you,
When I am full of worry?
How can I say trust in you,
When my heart is full of doubt?
How can I say have courage,
When all I want is to hide?
How can I say have patience,
When there is so much to be done?
How can I do anything,
Without certainty?
How can I wait?
How can I not?
I wait.
For in everything, O Lord, you have exalted and glorified your people, and you have not neglected to help them at all times and in all places.
Wisdom of Solomon 19:22 (NRSV)

This came from the heart. You have been heard.

Quite a list of contrary emotions/desires: when in a dark place, how turn to the Light?
And your resolve [“I wait.”] concludes your saga. Good on you! For helping us to slog
thru our struggles and have the faith/hope “to wait.” Bill….waiting into HolyWeek
and Easter.
