Psalm 38 and Lamentations 3 (Waiting Quietly--but not passively!)

Today's RST is short and sweet and taken from Psalm 38 and Lamentations 3:22-26---more on this "waiting" thing tomorrow...


All my longings lie open before you, O Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you...
I wait for you, O LORD;
you will answer, O Lord my God.


Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness!

I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;

it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.

You've been prayed for today...
