waiting is

 

steadfastness, that is holding on;

patience, that is holding back;

expectancy, that is holding the face up;

obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or do;

listening, that is holding quiet and still so as to hear.

 

-as described by S.D. Gordon from his "Quiet Talks on Prayer" (quoted by Elisabeth Elliot, Passion and Purity)

    "God's time for further revelations of the heart might come later. Tomorrow was not our business; it was His. Letting it rest with Him was the discipline for the day, and it was enough."
    -Mrs. Elliot (p.80)
