The Patterns and Particularities of Polar Bears (Lynn Casteel Harper) - a podcast by The Riverside Church NYC

"Faithful waiting means paying attention, listening with compassion, acting with intention, and trusting that it doesn’t all rely on you or me."

What can you learn from polar bears?

Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
