How to Trust God in a Waiting Season 🕊💕

Hi friend,

Waiting is hard. And I don’t mean the kind of waiting where you’re just passing time. I mean the kind of waiting where your heart aches for an answer, when you’re praying for a breakthrough but nothing seems to be happening. The kind of waiting that makes you wonder if God even hears you.

I’ve been in those season. I’ve waited for doors to open that never did. I’ve prayed for clarity and felt like I was met with silence. I’ve struggled with uncertainty, feeling stuck while everyone else seemed to be moving forward. And honestly? I’ve had moments where I questioned if God had forgotten about me.

But He hadn’t. And He hasn’t forgotten about you either.

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” – Lamentations 3:25

Looking back, I can see that the waiting wasn’t wasted. God was working, even when I couldn’t see it. He was preparing me, shaping me, teaching me to trust Him in a deeper way. And even though I still struggle with patience, I’ve learned a few things that help me lean into God’s plan instead of getting lost in the waiting.

How to Trust God in a Waiting Season

1. Remember What God Has Already Done – When waiting feels unbearable, I remind myself of all the times God has come through for me before. I think about the prayers He has answered, the ways He has provided, and the moments when I thought things wouldn’t work out, but they did, in His perfect timing.

2. Pray with Expectation, Not Just Frustration – It’s easy to come to God with our complaints (and trust me, I do), but I’m learning to shift my prayers. Instead of just asking why or when, I ask, Lord, what are You teaching me in this season? That small shift in perspective changes everything.

3. Let Go of the Timeline – I like to know when and how things are going to happen. But God’s timing is not mine. Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that His ways are higher than ours. When I surrender my need to control the timeline, I find more peace in the process.

4. Stay Faithful in the Small Things – Waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. Even when I don’t see big changes, I can still be faithful in the little things. 

5. Trust That God is Always Working – Just because we don’t see movement doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Behind the scenes, God is aligning things in ways we can’t imagine. And when the time is right, He will make it happen (Isaiah 60:22).

If you’re in a waiting season right now, I want you to know that you’re not alone. God hasn’t forgotten you. He sees you, He loves you, and He is working all things together for your good—even in the waiting.

Hold on, friend. His timing is always perfect.

With love,
Kimberly
