Waiting on God is one of the hardest things we do as believers. And if we’re honest, it’s one of the places where doubt creeps in the fastest. Why hasn’t God answered yet? Did I do something wrong? Is He even listening?
Maybe you’ve been praying for healing, for a breakthrough, for clarity. Maybe you’ve been faithful, doing everything right, but the doors remain closed. It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. But here’s what we need to remember: God’s faithfulness isn’t proven by immediate answers—it’s revealed in His perfect timing.
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23, NKJV)
Think about Joseph. He had dreams of leadership, of purpose, of God’s hand on his life. But before the palace, there was a pit. Before influence, there was injustice. Before fulfillment, there was waiting—years of it. If Joseph had judged God’s faithfulness by his circumstances, he would have given up. But God was working in the waiting, shaping Joseph into the leader he was called to be.
The same is true for us. When we don’t see movement, we can trust that God is still at work. When we feel forgotten, we can hold on to the truth that He never leaves His children behind. And when we wonder if He’ll come through, we remember that He always has, and He always will.
So what do we do while we wait? We worship. We trust. We obey. Because the God who promised is the God who always fulfills.
