Patience and Trust
In the waiting seasons, our faith and trust in God can be tested. The promises of God, as they wait to be fulfilled, can be brought into question, and we can doubt that God plans to fulfil them at all.
One of the easiest ways the enemy can impact our faith is by making us doubt what God says. It’s the same pattern he used in the garden of Eden, and he continues it today with us. If the enemy can make us doubt God’s words and promises, we pull away our trust and faith in God and who He says He is.
The Bible says, "Faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is the stopgap between what God has said will be fulfilled, and what we are seeing now. Our faith in God helps keep our spirits filled with hope, trust, and assurance even in the waiting seasons. It reminds us that God’s goodness exists and that His promises will be fulfilled, even if we can’t see the fruit of that right now.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. Remember above everything that this world could over give us, He is the center and foundation of our existence, and our love for Him will sustain us.

Follow along with this plan to learn about how waiting can in fact be beneficial, and how even when we can’t see our prayers being answered, God is encouraging and strengthening us as we trust Him and His timing.
