We all have different perspectives when it comes to waiting.
To some, waiting is a period when one stays in one place hoping for something to happen.
I had a discussion with a friend and she was like “oh, sometimes I feel so tired waiting on something. I have prayed about it but it seems there’s nothing happening” at that moment, I just smiled because I sometimes feel that way.
Do you know why we feel discouraged while waiting?
1. We give up easily
2. We give ourselves deadlines
3. We listen to people.
Waiting can be difficult. It comes with so many mental, psychological, spiritual,and emotional battles.
I remember years ago, I was trusting God for something. The waiting period was not an easy one. I became frustrated and exhausted. My mind became so occupied with negative things. I wanted giving up and accepting whatever comes but, I read a random stuff online and I took it so personal. I realized sometimes, we have to be deliberate about receiving whatever we want regardless of whatever discouraging words we hear from friends, family, and colleagues. Most situations are the way they are because we allow them. You might be working and praying so hard but yet no results.
Oh God! Why is it always this way?
Today I am so confident that things will work out and tomorrow I don’t even know if I really can wait.
This is you and me most times.
While waiting, we need people around us that can carry the weight with us. People that would pray with and for us.
People that would give us reasons not to give up and stop believing.
People we can connect with spiritually.
People that won’t see believing God for an impossible situation as being overly dramatic or spiritual.
No matter what happens, there are things we can only fix when we genuinely believe.
I love listening to testimonies from people because there’s this unusual peace that comes with it.
Whatever you have been waiting for is worth the wait.
Don’t give up.
Stay positive while waiting.
Your situation and miracle can be someone else’s testimony.
Believe and trust God.
