Waiting can feel heavy, especially when you don’t know how long it will last. But even in the silence, God hears you—and He hasn’t left you alone in this season.
I don’t know what you’re waiting on, but rest assured — God hears the cries of your heart.
He is big enough to oversee the whole world and loving enough to care about you. He would rather have you cry out to him with your doubts than walk away from him with your pain.
You’re not waiting alone. He’s with you in it.
– Jacqueline Whitney
Don’t let the enemy use your pain to drive you away from God. Allow God to use your pain to draw you closer into a relationship with him. We may enjoy God on the mountaintops, but we get to know him intimately in the valleys.
The waiting isn’t wasted. It’s where you learn to trust him when you can’t see the plan. It’s where you discover that his presence is enough, even without the answer. It’s where your faith is refined, your character is developed, and your dependence on him deepens.
You’re not waiting alone. He’s with you in it. And he’s using this season to prepare you for what’s ahead.
Hold on. The waiting isn’t wasted. It’s working.
