I am a planner. I like to know what comes next. For as long as I can remember, I have found comfort in structure, in having a roadmap for my life. But in the past few years, God has been teaching me a different lesson one of trust, faith, and surrender.
I have had to believe in the unseen, especially when it comes to my career, marriage, and family. This season in particular has been one of deep dependence on God. As 2025 began, I found myself jobless and uncertain of where God wanted me to be. After two years of His clear guidance where I had been fortunate to work in good organizations. I suddenly felt like I was back at square one.
January was hard. I was angry at God. I couldn’t believe I was jobless again. I asked Him, “Why? Why now?” In my frustration, I sought comfort in worldly distractions. I doubted. I forgot who He is.
But today, I was reminded of something powerful: our short-term memory as Christians often leads us to faithlessness. If God provided for me before, why wouldn’t He do it again? His nature does not change. He is faithful and trustworthy.
February has been better. I have spent more time with God seeking Him in prayer, worship, and His Word. He has reminded me of His promises and strengthened my spirit. Two verses have especially encouraged me:
2 Corinthians 4:17 – “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”
Romans 8:18 – “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
These verses remind me that seasons of waiting are not wasted. God is working, even when I cannot see it. His plans are greater than mine, and His timing is perfect.
Through this journey, I have also learned the importance of gratitude. Even in the waiting, there is so much to be thankful for. The people who encourage us, the small victories, the lessons that shape our faith each of these is a sign of God’s presence and love. It is easy to focus on what is missing, but when we shift our focus to what God has already done, we find strength to keep going.
Waiting on God does not mean being idle. It means seeking Him actively, preparing for His promises, and being faithful in the small things. It means trusting Him enough to praise Him even before the breakthrough comes. When we do this, we grow in faith, and our relationship with God deepens in ways we never imagined.
So, I choose to trust Him wholeheartedly. Because He is a good God, and His promises are yes and amen. The waiting season is not easy, but step by step, day by day, I will hold on. And I know that in the end, it shall be well.
