To you, O LORD<\/small>, I lift up my soul,<\/p>\n

Make known to me your ways, LORD<\/small>;<\/p>\n

for you I wait all the day long.<\/p>\n

Waiting in the Wilderness<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the wilderness time,
\nwhen every path is obscure
\nand thorns have grown around the words of hope.
\nBe the wings of our strength, O God,
\nin this time of wilderness waiting.<\/p>\n

This is the time of stone, not bread,
\nwhen even the sunrise feels uncertain
\nand everything tastes of bitterness.
\nBe the wings of our strength, O God,
\nin this time of wilderness waiting.<\/p>\n

This is the time of ashes and dust,
\nwhen darkness clothes our dreams
\nand no star shines a guiding light.
\nBe the wings of our strength, O God,
\nin this time of wilderness waiting.<\/p>\n

This is the time of treading life,
\nwaiting for the swells to subside and for the chaos to clear.
\nBe the wings of our strength, O God,
\nin this time of wilderness waiting.<\/p>\n

– Keri Wehlander, Canada from 600 Blessings and Prayers from Around the World<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
