Scripture  

Isaiah 30:18 (NRSVUE)  

Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you;  

therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.  

For the Lord is a God of justice;  

blessed are all those who wait for him.

Refrain  

God is not in a hurry. And He is not far.

Quote  

Henri Nouwen  

“Patience is not waiting passively until something happens.  

Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest,  

to be completely present to the moment,  

to taste the here and now,  

to be where we are.  

When we are impatient,  

we try to get away from where we are.  

We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow,  

later, and somewhere else.  

Let’s be patient and trust  

that the treasure we look for is hidden  

in the ground on which we stand.”
