Waitingनमूना

While You Wait

What are you seeking for when you are waiting on God? Is it clarity on a decision about a relationship, a new job prospect, or a move? Is it guidance on what your next step will be? Waiting on God can take patience, but frustration or anxiety can easily come up. So, what can you be doing while you wait?

Seek God’s perspective: When faced with disappointment or uncertainty, take time to meditate on God’s Word. Allow His promises to renew your faith in your current situation.

Serve others: Waiting on God does not imply idleness or passivity. Use this season as an opportunity to serve others and extend God’s love and grace. Look for ways to be a blessing to those around you–knowing that God is faithful to reward those who wait upon Him.

Let go to let God: Take a step back and remind yourself to trust in God’s timing. Use these moments as opportunities to surrender our weariness and weakness. This verse tells us that, in return, our strength is renewed.

Just move: Sometimes we can be paralyzed by indecision. In those moments, it’s better to just move in any direction. Clarity can come with action because the "wrong" decision might be your answer to prayer. It can be better than no decision at all. So, just go for it! More important than the answer to your prayers is who you become through it.

It is in the waiting that our character is refined, our faith is strengthened, and our hearts are aligned with God.
