When It Seems So Hard To Wait!
It’s never an easy thing to wait. Sometimes, we may even fear that God isn’t listening to our prayers. But the only way to endure times of waiting is to keep the faith. Without faith, we also lose hope. Without patience, we start to abandon the right path.
“I have learned that the greatest power is hidden in patience. I see that patience always leads to victory, although not immediately; but that victory will become manifest after many years. Patience is linked to meekness.” – St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul 1514
There is power in patience. Without patience, we lose so many things that could have been ours. We fail to reach so many dreams. We fall short of accomplishing our heart’s deepest desires.
It is patience that helps us not to settle for lesser things. It is patience that helps us decide in choosing the wiser path. Without it, we choose things that can’t really make us happy. We regret being lost and we lose more time trying to make things right again.
When we wait, we show how strong our faith really is. We also prove the depths of our love.
When we wait, we allow God to work in His own time. The seeds grow. The flowers blossom. And the trees bear fruits full of sweetness and of love.
“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is “timing”
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”
-Fulton J. Sheen
I would like to share a poem I wrote about waiting. I hope that somehow, we can pray for each other so that we may grow in patience as we wait for God’s will in our lives.

“Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.”
- St. Teresa of Avila
