Still Waiting?

For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.

(Isaiah 30:18)

I’m going to be short and sweet and honest here.

I’m feeling very tired of waiting.

I know that in retrospect, the waiting that I am experiencing right now will all make sense… But boy is it hard when you’re in the thick of it. There’s a whole lot of confusion, whys, whens, and hows…

But as I said, I know that in the future, I will understand why the waiting was necessary. I mean, think about all the closed doors you knocked on, only to finally open one that was so much better than you had imagined.

I also think that a lot of the difficulty that we have with waiting stems from our desire to be in control of our lives. We create our own anxiety when we try to take the wheel, because really, we have no idea how to drive.

When we let God be God, and let him write the next chapter of our lives without constantly trying to snatch the pen from Him, we will find peace. It won’t always be so simple and easy, but I think that we need to consistently and intentionally be moving in the direction of giving God full control of our lives and surrendering our desires to Him.

I know that this post was not as long as some of my others, but I hope that if this is what you need right now, it got to you. My struggle with waiting has been immense lately, and so this post was also a reminder to myself.

God bless <3
