The Russian writer Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy said that the two great warriors are patience and time. Cultivate both to witness the powerful and miraculous manifestation of your dreams. Develop trust in the aid of your angels and the grace of God with whom you co-create. Patience involves waiting, but not necessarily passive waiting. Great power comes from giving up power, and your ego doesn’t have to concern itself with every detail to bring about fulfillment. So while you wait, align your will with divine will. Know the aid you have requested is en route. Start working on the items on your to-do list. Do your affirmations and visualizations. Beckon the angels and trust that they are already working on the other side of the curtain between the worlds of spirit and matter. There need be no struggle. You simply become more powerful because the more you practice patience and gain an intimacy with God and the angels, the more you are yoking your will and intention with the power of the divine.
If you are someone who needs instant gratification, you may need to work harder on practicing patience. In ordinary life, many people are skeptic about miracles, psychic phenomena, miraculous and synchronous events, and holy apparitions. They doubt instead of considering the possibility that there are different energy levels, states of consciousness, and shifting energy patterns at work—all within the space-time continuum we think of as our universe. Much remains unknown about the world of matter, and perhaps even less is known about the world of spirit. Things can and do unfold without your ego dictating every detail.
Exercise To Practice Patience
Think of something currently going on in your life that requires patience. With your journal or paper and pen in hand, ask your angels to surround you. Breathe in and out while imagining it is their energy of love that you breathe. Write the question, “Dearest angels, is there anything I can do today that will bring me more peace?” Listen, feel, and allow the answer to come. When you finish, ask the angels if there are any action steps you can take. If the angels share with you that you need to be patient, and they advise you to accept what is right now, pray for patience and surrender the issue to the angels for divine resolution. Know that you have the power to choose peace in any moment. Simply affirm, “I am patient and the angels will show me what I need to know.”
