When the Waiting Feels Long

Some seasons feel like they stretch on forever. You pray, you hope, you do all the right things—and still, nothing seems to move. It’s in those moments that faith feels like work. You wonder if God has forgotten, if maybe that promise expired, or if the timing somehow passed you by.

But here’s the truth: what feels delayed isn’t denied. Just because the situation looks lifeless doesn’t mean it’s over. Some things have to go through a waiting period before they come alive again.

Think about it—how many times have we been so sure something was done for good, only to watch it rise in an unexpected way? Whether it’s a relationship, a dream, or your sense of purpose, the same God who brings life out of what seems finished can do the same for you.

The waiting doesn’t mean the end—it’s often the space where transformation takes place. The roots are growing deeper, even if you can’t see them. And just like Sunday followed Friday and Saturday, your breakthrough has a set time.

So hold on. Keep showing up. Keep doing what you can, even when it feels quiet. Because in God’s timing, what looks impossible will stand again—and you’ll see that the waiting wasn’t wasted at all.
