Key Verse:

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

— Isaiah 40:31

Rooted Truth:

Waiting is not passive—it’s an act of trust. In stillness, God strengthens us for what’s next.

Faith Story:

A few years ago, I went through a season where everything felt delayed. Doors I thought would open remained shut. My prayers felt like echoes. But over time, I began to see how that pause wasn’t wasted—it was preparation. I wasn’t being overlooked; I was being fortified. I came out of that season with more clarity, deeper faith, and a fresh reliance on God’s timing rather than my own agenda.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Psalm 27:14 – “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”

Lamentations 3:25–26 – “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”

Habakkuk 2:3 – “For still the vision awaits its appointed time… If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”

Daily Practice:

Find 10 minutes today to sit in silence with God. No music, no distractions—just quiet. Let your heart be still and ask Him to renew your strength in the waiting.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, when I grow restless or discouraged, remind me that waiting is not wasted. Help me trust You in the stillness and lean into Your promises. Renew my strength and prepare my heart for what lies ahead. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

What emotions surface when you’re forced to wait?

How can you use times of waiting to grow spiritually?

Is there a “closed door” in your life right now that God might be using for preparation?
