Words of Encouragement

Some words of encouragement came to me this afternoon as I prayed the Liturgy of the Hours daytime prayer. The midday reading was from the book of Isaiah: Thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies. Yet the Lord is waiting to show you favor, and he rises to pity you; For the Lord is a God of justice: blessed are all who wait for him! - Isaiah 30: 15, 18
