It's Just a LotSample

God works in your stress. God works in your worry. That can sometimes feel really hard to believe, right? I know that’s been true for me. Especially when it feels like God is silent.

But, the writer of this Psalm said, “Wait quietly before God.” As hard as it may be to wait sometimes, it’s when we are quiet that we can hear the voice of God.

Waiting quietly on God means having faith. It means recognizing there is someone greater than my problems who can solve them and who will take care of them for me. It means believing that God’s plans will work out and that I will be okay. It means trusting that God is working on something greater for my good.

So when you are going through something difficult, remember that you can wait quietly before God, knowing God is fighting for you, and is with you through it.

Is there something in your life you are waiting on right now? Think about what it means for you to wait quietly before God about that thing. Then, write this verse somewhere you will see it often as a reminder that God is still working for your good, even when you can’t see it just yet.
