They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
The questions of when, why, what, and how suddenly feel louder, and many of them seem unanswered as the season begins.
But the waiting season is what I love to call the process, because it is in this season our transformation truly begins. It is in this season our realignment starts. It is in this season that learning, unlearning, and relearning take place — all for the purpose of fulfilling destiny.
In this season, our faith is tried but built.
Our hope is tested but strengthened.
Our trust may waver, but it becomes deeper.
Why?
Because we know that at the end, it is glory.
At the end, it is blessings.
At the end, it is restoration of what seemed lost.
The Bible says,
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
Waiting may weaken your body at first, but it strengthens your spirit in ways you never imagined.
Look at Hannah.
She walked through her waiting season — painful, exhausting, and long. Yet she trusted, hoped, and prayed earnestly to the Lord. And in the fullness of time, Samuel came.
(1 Samuel 1–2)
Look at Joseph.
Thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, falsely accused, forgotten in prison — yet he waited faithfully. What looked like delay was God positioning him for greatness.
“But the Lord was with Joseph…” — Genesis 39:21 (KJV)
And the same Joseph who suffered became the one who saved nations.
Look at Abraham and Sarah.
They waited 25 years for the promise of Isaac. Their waiting came with doubt, confusion, and mistakes — but also with a promise that God never forgot.
“For he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief…” — Romans 4:20 (KJV)
Their laughter of pain became laughter of joy.
Look at Elizabeth.
A righteous woman who kept serving God while she waited. And in her old age, God remembered her and gave her John — the forerunner of Christ.
(Luke 1:5–25)
Look at David.
Anointed as king yet running for his life for years. His throne didn’t come immediately — but the waiting refined his heart.
“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage…” — Psalm 27:14 (KJV)
These stories remind us that God never wastes a waiting season.
He uses it to prepare you for the very thing you are praying for.
And when the answer finally comes, the joy is not only in receiving what you prayed for — it is in realizing how much you’ve grown, how stronger your faith has become, and how deeply God has shaped your heart.
The waiting season is not proof that God has forgotten you.
It is proof that He is building you.
And when the answer comes, the joy is undeniable — because you know it could only have been God.
