It is a big lesson for children, but an even bigger lesson for adults.
There are times and circumstances in our life when the virtue of patience is tested to the hilt. We can get into positions where we have no exit possibilities and find that we have no alternative but to exercise patience and “Wait it Out”! It can be difficult and actually overwhelming to be so out of control to not be able to quickly and painlessly resolve a challenge that has captivated our full attention and sometimes paralyzed us from moving forward. We can fall into a trap of succumbing to the stress and anxiety that these kinds of situations can cause!
It is however amazing what a sense of peace we can come to when we relinquish the urge to rush in and try to force an outcome that will most likely be out of “Divine Right Order”, and cause even more confusion and distress. We have to learn the life saving method of just “Letting Go -and Waiting it Out”. This does not mean that we are merely sitting by and not engaging in our life. It means that we are maturing and realizing that sometimes, things will work out without our interference. We are learning that in our patience to let go and wait, we are accepting and acknowledging that there are forces on a higher level that are working on our behalf. We are accepting the fact that we are being cared for and if we allow the divine design to work on our behalf, everything will ultimately work in our best interest! I know it takes a lot of trust to be patient, but once we have mastered the practice-ritual- there is nothing that will uproot us from our sacred space and sacred identity.
Remember this Mantra Prayer:
Peace, Patience, Prayer will render the manifestation of our dreams, which ultimately lie in God’s blessing for the divinity, purpose and fulfillment of our life’s journey!
The reality is that while we are “Waiting it Out”, “We are trusting and Waiting on Great Spirit”!
