Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Psalms 27:14
Waiting is hard. In a world that craves instant gratification, the idea of patience and trusting God’s timing can feel countercultural and even frustrating. Yet, throughout Scripture, we see God working in the waiting. Abraham waited decades for God’s promise of a son to be fulfilled. Joseph waited years in prison before stepping into his calling. Even Jesus waited until the appointed time to begin His ministry.
Waiting doesn’t mean inactivity or passivity—it’s an opportunity to grow in faith and obedience. When we wait on God, we acknowledge His sovereignty and trust that He is working for our good, even when we can’t see the full picture.
The waiting seasons often teach us more than the moments when our prayers are answered. They refine our character, deepen our dependence on God, and help us cultivate gratitude when His blessings finally come.
Are you in a season of waiting right now? How can you actively trust God while you wait?
Pray
Lord, waiting can be so difficult, especially when I don’t see how everything will work out. Help me to trust Your timing and Your plan. Strengthen my heart and teach me to rely on You during this season. Thank You for the work You are doing, even when I cannot see it. I surrender my timeline to You and ask for Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
