When Waiting Seems the Hardest

Oh soul, why do you feel hopeless?
Fearful.
Agitated.
Uncertain.

Stop.
It’s the enemy feeding you lies.

Clear your mind.
Return to the center.
Listen.
God speaks.
He whispers words
To soothe your heart,
Comfort your weary soul.

Take a deep breath.
Let go of what you can’t control.
Trust.
Believe.
Do not fret.

Wait.
Patiently,
Purposefully,
Excitedly,
Wait.

The hour may be dark,
Tomorrow may look bleak,
But never for a moment
Doubt when God speaks.
Just wait.

But those who wait on 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 NKJV)

Quotes from Believing God by Beth Moore

“We’re getting by but getting by, was never our destiny. We were meant to be profoundly effective.”

“Our toughest battles will invariably concern matters of faith–times when we’re tempted to think God’s Word and His ways won’t work for us, that He has abandoned us, let us down, or failed to come through for us.”

“When we respond to attacks of doubt, distortion, and deceit with the truth of God’s Word, the fiery dart is extinguished and the enemy takes another hit.”

“God is who He says He is.
God can do what He says He can do.
I am who God says I am.
I can do all things through Christ.
God’s Word is alive and active in me.”
