Waiting.
It can feel like wandering in the in-between.
You’ve prayed. You’ve trusted. You’ve done everything right — and still, the door hasn’t opened.
The healing hasn’t come. The answer hasn’t shown up. The breakthrough hasn’t happened.
But what if the waiting isn’t a waste?
Here are 3 truths to help you find peace when life feels paused — because even in the delay, God is doing deep work.
1️⃣ The Waiting Is Not Empty — It’s an Invitation
We often think of waiting as nothing happening.
But spiritually, it’s often where the most growth happens.
“Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…”
— Isaiah 40:31
Waiting is where strength is built, trust is tested, and intimacy is deepened.
God is not passive in the waiting — He’s present, preparing you and what’s ahead.
2️⃣ Delay Is Not Denial
Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t.
God’s “no” is clear. But His “not yet” is filled with purpose.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1
His timing is not always ours — but it is always intentional.
3️⃣ You Can Have Peace Even Without Closure
We often think peace comes from having answers — but biblical peace comes from having God.
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
— Isaiah 26:3
You don’t have to wait for the outcome to experience peace.
You just have to remain anchored in the One who holds the outcome.
🕯️ Final Thoughts
The waiting is not a detour. It’s part of the path.
And while you’re waiting on God — He’s working in you.
You may feel stalled… but He’s still writing your story.
Hold on. Lean in.
The waiting may just be where the miracle begins.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, waiting is hard.
It tests my patience, my trust, and my faith.
But I believe You’re still working — even when I can’t see it.
Help me rest in Your timing and lean into Your presence.
Amen.
