When waiting feels like being forgotten

Those who wait on the Lord receive renewed strength.

Isaiah 40:31

When waiting feels like being forgotten. This is the kind of moment that can expose what has really been running underneath. Not everything involved in this situation belongs in your hands. You can still choose what receives your agreement and what you place in Christ's hands. A quiet season is not the same thing as divine absence. Let Christ meet you in the delay instead of interpreting the delay as rejection. Be faithful with the next concrete step. Leave the outcome where it belongs: in God's hands.

Where do you notice yourself moving on reflex? What would faithfulness choose in its place?

Lord, reveal where my interpretation has gone beyond what is true. Teach me the next faithful step and help me trust You beyond it. Amen.
