Waiting is one of the hardest things to do, especially when you feel like God has promised you something and it hasn’t happened yet. There were countless nights during my separation and divorce when I prayed for reconciliation. I believed God could heal my marriage, and I held onto that hope for months. But as time passed and the situation worsened, I found myself questioning God’s timing. And His plan.
One night, I read Ecclesiastes 3:11. It reminded me that God’s timing isn’t just different from ours; it’s perfect. He sees the whole picture when we can only see a fragment. That verse didn’t erase my pain, but it gave me a new perspective. Instead of asking, “Why hasn’t this happened yet?” I began to pray, “Lord, help me trust Your timing.”
Looking back now, I can see how God used that season to refine me, draw me closer to Him, and prepare me for what was ahead. It wasn’t the answer I expected, but it was the answer I needed.
If you’re in a season of waiting, know that you’re not alone. God is working, even when you can’t see it. Trust that He will make everything beautiful in its time.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that Your timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t align with my own. Help me to trust You in the waiting and to rest in the promise that You are working all things for my good. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
