Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.
Psalm 38:15 NIV
Psalm 38:15 captures one of the most striking declarations of faith in all of Scripture. David wrote these words from the depths of anguish and pain. God had not yet answered. No visible change had taken place. Yet David did not despair or turn elsewhere — waiting on God with confidence was his deliberate, courageous response. And that kind of faith is worth emulating.
The fact that God has not yet answered does not mean He will not answer. It simply means you are still in the waiting season. Furthermore, the waiting season is not a season of absence — it is a season of active, deliberate trust.
Choosing Waiting on God with Confidence
God’s desire in seasons of delay is that we continue to run to Him, continue to trust Him, and continue to hold our hope and dependence in His hands — even when the circumstances remain unchanged. Waiting on God with confidence is not passive resignation. Instead, it is an active choice to keep trusting even when the challenges remain the same and the silence persists.
It is in this posture of sustained trust that we position ourselves to see what only God can bring about. The miraculous becomes visible to those who remain steady. Ultimately, the victory that only He can deliver comes to those who do not give up. So wait for Him to come through — wait for Him to break through every obstacle, put to naught every plan of the enemy, and bring about the revival and breakthrough that only He can give.
Wait for the revival He will bring about in your season, and for the miracles He will perform in your own day. He has not forgotten you — and He will answer.
Living It Out
Make a conscious decision today to surrender your immediate worries and trust the timing of heaven. Continue to hold onto your confident expectation, knowing that the Lord will faithfully bring about the required victory in your life.
