darkness

Move over the face of
my deep,
my darkness,
my endless restless chaos,
and create,
O God;
trouble me,
comfort me,
stir me up,
and calm me,
but do not cease
to breathe
your Spirit into
my wakening soul.

Jan Richardson

Part of Advent is being in darkness. We wait, not always knowing what is coming. It is a matter of trust. But, do we only trust when we can know? Can we trust Him, not only when we don't know what's coming, but especially when we don't know?

If you find yourself in a place of waiting, can you sense where God is there with you? If not, instead of asking him to end the waiting, consider asking Him to reveal Himself to you as you wait.

Grace and peace,
