These are the days we wait, prepare, do without. These are the days in which our struggle becomes the erosive tool that smooths us, that forms us into something lovely.
The very attitude of trying to do so much, take so much on ourselves, denies our complete dependance on God and His Son. As you say, letting go of that is an act of faith, faith in the knowledge that God is good, that God love us, and so will provide us with exactly what we need when we need it. That life is more than a frantic pace. This is a great reminder of that as is the entire season of Lent. Thank you for your piece.
