Let’s be honest—waiting is hard. Whether we’re waiting for answers, direction, healing, or breakthrough, the in-between moments can feel heavy. We live in a world that loves fast results and quick fixes, so when God asks us to wait, it can be confusing and even frustrating. But the truth is, His timing is always better than ours.
There have been times I’ve prayed and felt like nothing was happening. But looking back, I see how God was working the whole time—shaping my heart, lining things up, and protecting me from what I couldn’t see. He never wastes a season of waiting. Sometimes, the delay is the very thing that prepares us for the blessing.
Learning to trust God’s timing is really about letting go of control. It’s saying, “God, I don’t know what’s next, but I believe You do.” That kind of trust brings peace—because it shifts the pressure off of us and puts it into God’s hands, where it belongs. He’s never early, never late. He shows up right on time.
Even when it feels quiet, God is still moving. He sees what you’re carrying. He knows the questions you haven’t even spoken out loud. And He promises that everything—yes, everything—will be made beautiful in its time.
A Simple Prayer
Dear God,
I don’t always understand Your timing, but I want to trust You more.
Help me to be patient in the waiting and find peace in knowing You’re in control.
I give You my plans, my hopes, and my questions.
Teach me to rest in You, even when things feel uncertain.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
