Key Verse:
"The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him."
— Lamentations 3:25
Devotional:
Waiting is hard. Whether it’s waiting for a prayer to be answered, a dream to come true, or a breakthrough to arrive, the waiting season can feel like a desert—dry, lonely, and endless. But in Scripture, we see time and again that God uses the waiting seasons to shape His people.
Think of Sarah, who waited decades for the promise of a child. Or Joseph, who spent years in prison before stepping into his destiny. Or even Mary and Martha, who waited for Jesus to arrive when their brother Lazarus was sick. In each story, the waiting wasn’t wasted. God was working behind the scenes, preparing hearts, strengthening faith, and aligning His perfect timing.
If you’re in a waiting season, know this: God is not absent. He is with you in the waiting, using this time to draw you closer to Him. Sometimes, what feels like a delay is actually a divine setup for something greater than you imagined.
Instead of fighting the wait, lean into it. Use this time to seek God more deeply, to listen for His voice, and to trust His plan. The waiting may be hard, but the reward of trusting Him is always worth it.
Reflection & Prayer Prompt:
What are you waiting on God for right now? How can you surrender that to Him today?
Take a moment to write down what you believe God is teaching you in this season of waiting.
Daily Faith in Action Task:
Spend five extra minutes in prayer today, specifically asking God to strengthen your faith as you wait. Then, encourage someone else who may also be in a waiting season by sharing a word of hope or Scripture with them.
Prayer:
Lord, waiting is hard, and sometimes it feels like You are silent. But I know You are faithful and Your timing is perfect. Help me to trust You in this season of waiting. Teach me to lean on You, grow in faith, and embrace the work You are doing in me. I trust that You are preparing something beautiful in Your time. Amen.
