Encountering Suffering

DAY 3 OF 5




Wait On Him


In today’s fast paced world there is pressure to fill our calendars with to-dos. When asked how we are doing, the popular response is to talk about all of our stress due to our busy schedules. We often try to plan more than we are able to do and strive for perfection in everything. This leaves us with a sense of failure and disappointment when things do not go the way we think they should. But our own plans and expectations may be different from God’s plan and His timing. Listen to Marlo as she shares about what it means to wait on the Lord.






Listen to Marlo


It is easier to take things into our own hands rather than wait for the help of others. This waiting requires a lot of trust and patience. But God wants you to put that trust in Him. He can see what things lie ahead for you and He wants you to be patient with His timing. When we allow God to work, our reality turns out better than anything we would have been able to craft on our own.

Apply

  • Is God asking you to step back and wait for Him?
  • Think back to a time that you remember letting God take control. Did you feel at peace? Did everything go the way you would have planned?
