As I wait on God I’ve learned how to dwell on his presence. I’ve also learned to see God’s pace and I’ve learned to have peace in God’s timing. Earlier this year I struggled with depression and anxiety over my future. I had not been giving God the time and had been growing impatient with where I am. I began crying out to God and through several difficult months I began to hear God’s voice through studying his word and the message that I received was this, “Trust in my timing and learn to reflect my love for you in the journey”. God is a God of love and he is faithful. He asks us to trust in him completely. God’s timing is what I’ve learned to long for and I am grateful for the blessings that he has given me in the mean time. God has taught me that my joy is in him and in his presence.
When I look at the mountains which God has helped me overcome, I am overwhelmed with joy. I have always been blessed with a family and friend group that are supportive of me. I have a support system for helping me to find a job. I am grateful to God for his love and his mercy. I have grown closer to God this year than I have been for a while. I no longer take my faith for granted and instead I am living for God in all that I do . I am still confident in the promise God has given me through Jeremiah 29:11. He has given me a hope and a future and I know that when that promise comes to pass he will ensure that it happen when I need it.
So remember that God is faithful. He sometimes asks us to wait, but we can trust him in the wait. God has used my waiting season to refine me into someone who is more conscience of him and the relationship I have with him. So to God will refine you in your season of waiting.
