And While You're Still Waiting...



This morning I am still waiting.

On what? I won't bother going into that (sorry)...but I will say...

I. Am. Still. Waiting.

I have been for a while.

To be honest, I am tempted to grow weary.

But I will not. (I say that with all of my heart! I WILL NOT GROW WEARY.)

This morning I sustain my hope in God's Word. I will recount His faithfulness to me. He is so good and worthy of all my Trust. He never abandons me. Or you.

Are you still waiting on the Lord? Days, months, years of praying? Asking? Crying out to Him?

Let me encourage you (and myself) with Truth today.

I need it.

Let us feast this morning on His Word. Let us restore our strength. Our hope. And our faith in Him.

I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. Psalm 138:2

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

The righteous shall live by faith. Romans 1:17b

Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Mark 11:22

For we walk by faith not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

If we are faithless, He is faithful. 2 Timothy 2:13

He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:24

Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined his ear to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1

Lord, thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for your unwavering goodness. Thank you for answering every prayer in your perfect timing. I trust you. Completely. Please speak to my soul today. Thank you for strengthening, encouraging and guiding me. Give me Your mind on this thing. Help me turn off my head and take every thought captive in obedience to you. Today, I walk by faith, not by sight. I love you, Lord. And put my faith to work today. In Jesus Name. Amen.

  2. I wrote a blog post about waiting about a month ago. I'm SO not trying to self-promote or anything, but maybe there's something in there that God has for you! Praying for you while you wait! <3

  3. My favorite waiting verse is Isaiah 64:4 "...no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him." (NIV) I love thinking about how God might be acting as I'm waiting.
