Sit back and wait on God

How can we learn to sit back and wait on God?  

I remember going to see Fr Alan about a personal problem and after hearing what I had to say, Fr Alan told me to sit back, do nothing and wait. 

I use this advice now for all things in my life. If something is from God, all I have to do is to sit back and wait, and do nothing, and if the thing comes to me then I know it is really from God. 

To do this, I have to learn that there is no need to always want to take control; always finding ways to manipulate situations for my own end. This means there is less stress, less worry and I am able to put my trust in God and just wait, knowing in God's good time, He will deliver.

So, let us pray we are all able to sit back, do nothing, put all our trust in God and let God do the rest.

Amen
