Hope can turn our waiting season from miserable to miraculous. Not because we choose to hope, but because of Who we place our hope in. Psalm 130:5-6 says:
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” (Psalm 130:5-6 ESV)
When we place our hope in God and in His promises, we can make it through the challenges of a waiting season. Although waiting is hard, God is faithful. Although we don’t know what will happen, we do know God’s Word will always stand true.
As we wait, I want to encourage you to keep breathing, keep praying, keep working, and, above all, keep hoping.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, when I’m discouraged during waiting seasons, help me to place all my hope and trust in You. When I focus more on what I see, redirect me back to You, Your Word, and Your faithfulness. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray. Amen.
