Waiting for God to work in certain trials in my life is probably the most difficult thing for me. It is a woman’s natural instinct to fix what is broken in her family and in her home; we often feel it is our responsibility to ensure that everything runs smoothly. However, there are times when we must stop trying to fix things and simply wait on the Lord, trusting that His timing is perfect. Not everything needs our fixing, and not everything requires our intervention. Sometimes, what we perceive as chaos is actually a necessary part of God’s greater plan, teaching us patience and perseverance. But you know what? God can fix and intervene in everything, bringing about healing and restoration in ways we could never imagine or achieve on our own. It is in surrendering to God’s will that we find true peace and clarity, understanding that, ultimately, we are not in control, but rather part of a divine design that is unfolding before us.

This is why God tells us to wait on Him. A loving and compassionate God tells us to wait! Why God? I can’t wait to have this heartache healed! I can’t wait to have my body restored to good health, free from pain and filled with the energy I once had! I can’t wait for this relationship to be knit back together, where love and understanding flourish! But God, in His infinite mercy and compassion, wants us to trust in Him and wait for His work and results, knowing that His timing is perfect and His plans for us are filled with hope and promise. In moments of uncertainty, we may feel tempted to take matters into our own hands, yet God gently reminds us that true healing, restoration, and reconciliation come through patience and faith in His perfect plan. In waiting, we cultivate a deeper relationship with Him, learning to rely not on our own understanding but on His divine wisdom that governs every aspect of our lives.

Psalm 27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psalm 37:34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

I do believe the most quoted Bible verses for difficult times was written by the prophet Isaiah. The prophet encourages readers to wait on the Lord because He does not get tired; He does not faint from being overworked. The same God who was with Isaiah is with us. He doesn’t waiver; He doesn’t quit because the work is too hard. He is always there to help you through your most difficult times!

Isaiah 40:28-31  Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.  (29)  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.  (30)  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:  (31)  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

You may not get an answer to your trial today, but it will come! In His time. One thing you can know for certain, His time will be the perfect time. I often wonder when the Lord will heal my broken relationships. I want Him to hurry; to put all this pain behind me. He reminds me that He knows the outcome and is diligently working daily toward that outcome. I may not see his day-to-day work; He never sleeps and work for the Lord never stops. He’s building a testimony in my children, just as He did for me behind the scenes. I didn’t know God was at work, but He was. Looking back on my life, I can clearly see where He was and what He was doing. He opened doors; He removed barriers.

What is gripping your heart today? What pains, what fears are so deeply rooted that you can’t see an end? It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges, as they can weigh heavily on our spirits. In moments like these, it’s so important to seek solace and understanding through the power of music. Listen to the song above and read these lyrics, allowing the melody and the words to speak to you. It’s a well-known song, and has impactful words that encourage the heart! These lyrics remind us that we’re not alone in our struggles, and that even in the darkest times, there is a glimmer of hope waiting to guide us toward brighter days.

In His Time – By Linda Ball, Diane Ball

In His Time, In His Time,
He Makes All Things Beautiful In His Time.
Lord, Please Show Me Everyday
As You’re Teaching Me Your Way,
That You Do Just What You Say In Your Time.

In Your Time, In Your Time,
You Make All Things Beautiful In Your Time.
Lord, My Life To You I Bring,
With Its Winter And Its Spring,
May I Fathom Everything In Your Time.

There’s A Time, There’s A Time
Both For Sowing And For Reaping There’s A Time.
Time For Losing, Time For Gain,
Time For Joy And Time For Pain,
Every Purpose Under Heaven Has A Time.

There Are Times, There Are Days,
Weeks And Months We Cannot Understand God’s Ways.
If For Years We Fail To Scan
What Is His Eternal Plan,
We’ll Remember That He Can, All The Time.
