Part 5 of the 7 Holy Virtues Series

Patience: The Virtue of Trust and Surrender

As we continue the 7 Holy Virtues Series, this week we call upon the Spirit of Patience the virtue of trusting divine timing, moving with grace, and embracing stillness.

Patience is not just about waiting; it is about how we wait. It is the ability to sit with uncertainty, delay, or struggle without falling into frustration or despair. It is a deep trust that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

In tarot, patience and surrender are most closely linked to The Hanged Man.

This card represents letting go of control, seeing things from a new perspective, and learning through stillness.

It reminds us that pause is not failure, it is preparation.It teaches that sometimes, we must surrender before we can move forward.

It warns against forcing progress when the universe is asking us to be still.

This week, as you call upon Patience, remember: your timeline is divine. You are exactly where you are meant to be.

True patience asks:

  • Can you release control and trust the process?

  • Can you sit with discomfort and uncertainty without forcing solutions?

  • Can you find peace in the present moment, even when the future is unclear?

If you, like me, have ever struggled with wanting things to happen faster, this invocation is for you. Patience is not passivity it is a deep, sacred strength.
