Letting Go is hard
Waiting. It’s not easy, is it? Whether you’re waiting on a job, a relationship, healing, or an answer that seems long overdue, it can feel like you’re stuck in limbo—praying, hoping, and wondering if God hears you. And let’s be honest, patience? That’s a tough lesson to learn.
We often think of patience as just sitting around, waiting for something to happen. But it’s more than that. It’s about trusting that God is working even when we can’t see it. Romans 8:25 says, "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." It’s not wasted time—it’s time God uses to shape us, strengthen us, and prepare us for what’s coming.
Trusting God When You Can’t See the Outcome
Ever feel like God’s taking too long? We all do. But Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles..." God isn’t just making you wait to test you—He’s moving things behind the scenes, getting everything in place. Sometimes the blessing isn’t delayed; it’s just being prepared.
Letting Go and Letting God
Here’s the hard part: surrender. We love to hold onto control, trying to figure everything out on our own. But Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding..." Waiting is an act of surrender, a chance to let go of our plans and trust that God’s timing is always better than ours.
Encouragement for the Journey
If you’re in a waiting season, don’t lose heart. God sees you. He hears you. And when the time is right, He’ll open doors you never expected. In the meantime, find peace in the present, lean into Him, and know—without a doubt—that your waiting is not in vain.
You’re not alone in this. And one day, you’ll look back and see exactly why the wait was worth it.
