Psalms 25:5

Psalms 25:5 (NRSV)

Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.

Sometimes You seem silent when I'm begging for answers, Lord.  Sometimes Your silence seems like absence, but I know You are here.  I know You are present with me.  And Your silence is neither a no nor a yes answer.  In Your silence, You call me to wait for You - to wait for Your timing and to learn to trust You when I can't see what's ahead.  So I'll sit still.  I'll learn to wait patiently and appreciate the peace of Your presence, knowing that You hold the past, present, and future in Your hands.  The truth is that I don't really need answers, Lord, I need You.  Thank You for reminding me with Your silence what is really necessary.  I can rest in You while I wait.
