Possibly the hardest spiritual direction of all is “to be still.” We have done all the indicated work regarding a difficulty or trouble confronting us. The prayers have been said. Forgiveness asked for and freely given. Meditations on receiving strength and direction accomplished. Now what? “Be still, and know that I am God” “Wait on the Lord: be of courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait I say, on the Lord.” What an order. As someone new to the path said to me years ago in all seriousness: “I need patience and I need it right now.” As my laughter subsided the thought crossed my mind, me too.
