God is my Shelter

"Truly my heart waits silently for God;
my deliverance comes from Him.
In truth He is my rock of deliverance,
my tower of strength, so that i stand unshaken...
Trust always in God, my people,
pour out your hearts before Him;
God is our shelter."
Psalm 62:1-2;8

shelter. a roof over my head. a hedge. a windbreak. a warm coat. shelter from the fear of loss of this precious thing called love. from the fear of loneliness without the one person i believe i could ever love. shelter from attack--the sudden onslaught of doubt that God will take care of everything if i will simply trust Him--what if He doesn't?

waiting silently is the hardest thing of all.
i am in a holding pattern--how long is this circling going to go on?

"steadfastness, that is holding on;
patience, that is holding back;
expectancy, that is holding the face up;
obedience, that is holding oneself in readiness to go or do;
listening, that is holding quiet & still so as to hear."--S.D. Gordon

how long, Lord, must i wait?
Never mind, child. Trust Me.
