Restlessness in the waiting
Let’s go
Let’s get a move on
Wait
There are things to do
Wait
Chop-chop
Wait
I don’t have time for this
Wait
This is stupid
Wait

I’m here
in the waiting
Calling you to sit with me
In the stillness
In the silence
Resist the urge to run ahead
Fight against your natural desires
to push ahead
Wait
Look
Listen
For I am found in the waiting

In the waiting
silence
pain
unmet expectations
questions
sorrow
doubts
wondering
HOPE

Hope in the silence
in the questions
Do you remember what he said?
What did that mean?
What if?
What if this isn’t over?
What if there’s more to come?
What if he isn’t done?
Could he?
Would he?
Will he?

My mind keeps thinking about fear. Not that I am fearful right now. But the power of fear and how fear is constantly used to manipulate and control people.

There’s an eclipse, so be afraid because this is God’s judgment. Oh, and Jesus is coming back to “get you, my pretty!” An earthquake in New York – be afraid. God is angry with you, and an earthquake is his call for you to repent. NOW!

The loudest voices get the most airtime and spread the most fear.

They’re coming to get you.
They’re going to destroy your way of life.
They’re going to change things.

Peace, be still.
These are the words of Christ that calm the anxious storm within.

Turn off the voices that are fear-mongering
And listen to the words of the Master. The Creator.

Peace, be still.

No more fear. For perfect love casts out fear.
And I know perfect love.
His name is Jesus.
