While You WaitSample
In life’s waiting rooms, as we look forward to a job, or a promotion, or marriage, what is our attitude? Are we frustrated? Are we simply distracting ourselves? Or are we yielded to the Lord, allowing Him to refuel and refine us through the waiting?
Do we respond to His provision in the waiting with thankfulness? Do we respond to His preparation with obedience? And, do we understand that the purpose of our waiting is to discover that God is enough?
Today, spend a few minutes answering one or all of these questions for yourself:
1. What is one thing you’re thankful for in the waiting?
2. How is God preparing and training you while you wait?
3. What do you believe is the purpose of your waiting? Have you found that God is enough?
Let’s pray:
Father God, There’s no getting around the fact that this waiting period is hard. I often find myself restless and anxious, ready to give up. But I thank you, today, because Your ways are higher than mine. I thank you because You are teaching, shaping and growing me through this season. I thank you because day by day, moment by moment, I’m discovering that You alone are enough. Amen

About this Plan
While we anxiously linger in life’s waiting rooms, we tend to think to ourselves, “This is not what I signed up for.” Our dreams seem to be stuck in a hopeless rut. We long for breakthroughs. In this Bible Plan, we’ll ask: “What is the purpose of our waiting?” We’ll walk in the prophet Elijah’s shoes to discover what God can do in us and through us while we wait.
