In Psalm 27:13-14 the psalmist says:
I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

Now is the time, let us pause.
As we wait, may we hear the voice of God.
Now is the time, let us watch.
In our homes, at our work, even while waiting in line —
may we see the face of Christ.
Now is the moment, let us prepare our hearts.
In our words, in our hearts, in all we say and do —
may God’s extravagant love shine through.

In the depths of my being
I become quiet and still;
I wait for you, my God,
source of my salvation

When nothing is right,
when we are weary and lost,
when clouds dull the sky,
help us to be still.
When our cries are unheeded,
when no effort bears fruit,
when the sun sets,
help us to be still.
When love is over,
when hope is gone,
when darkness covers the land,
help us to be still.
For in being still,
in refusing to panic or despair,
we shall come to know that God is there,
suffering alongside and with us,
waiting to show us stepping-stones through the swirling waters,
and to help us sing a new song.
