Waiting on God is the hardest thing ever

Hey guys, welcome back to another blog! It has been a while since I have uploaded. I have been wanting to write something for quite some time now, but I guess you could say I had a bit of ‘writers block.’ Nevertheless, it feels great to be back.

We’re 4 months into the year. I hope this year so far has been good to you. I pray that the rest of these 8 months in 2022 will be amazing for you. I pray God will bless you abundantly. I pray that more things will come together in your life. I pray that God will give you strength, peace and joy. I pray you will be happier. I pray for success over your life. And whatever you’re waiting on God to answer, I pray that he will come through for you, whether its any of these things I have listed or something else.

The topic of today’s blog is waiting on God. It’s one of the toughest, hardest challenges in your Christian walk. Waiting on God for answers, waiting on God to move something in your life, waiting on God to bring something in your life. Waiting on God to provide. Waiting on God in times of uncertainty.

The waiting season in your life is hard!

I saw a quote on Instagram that stated; ‘Sometimes all you can do is leave it in God’s hands and wait.’ Which was actually my inspiration for writing this blog because it can be easier said than done.

It’s quite a devasting feeling when you pray to God about something and it feels like he is not listening to you even though he is. You pray, you feel at peace once the prayer is done, you’re quite happy that you spoke to God about what’s laying heavy on your heart, you gain some strength back that you lost, your faith increases that tad bit more. And now you’re just waiting…

A day goes by you’re waiting…

Another day goes by you’re waiting…

Before you know it, a week has gone…

Another week has gone…

A month passes on by, still nothing…

A couple more months down the line. Oop still nothing…

Sometimes you find yourself even waiting years for this one thing that you’re waiting on God for.

 

You try to distract yourself and focus on the things you can control whilst you’re waiting. At times you feel tempted to take matters into your own hands or even doing exactly that. And the more time that goes by, the more difficult it becomes to wait. You’ve waited for so long it feels like God is never going to answer your prayers.

 

But I wrote this blog today to tell you that he will.

 

You may be angry, frustrated, start to become impatient, but waiting on God is never a waste of time. Although, it is a difficult thing to do, it is an essential part of your Christian journey.

I know how it can be waiting on God because I’m currently waiting on God to answer one of my prayers, that I have been waiting on for a very long time. It’s been really hard and I haven’t been the happiest person about it. Me and God have had our talks. Trust me, he knows I’m not happy about it…

But I know in his perfect timing he will provide for me. I try my best to not be tempted into doing things the way I want them to be done and I pray that for the rest of this year I can try my best to do things the way God wants me to.

I also know that God is a God of ‘suddenly’ and I know that one day everything will suddenly and miraculously work in my favour but it all begins in the waiting season. It all begins with your faith and it takes great faith to wait on the Lord.

 

The Bible tells us that Noah waited on God. Abraham and Sarah also waited on God for a very long time.

It tells us in Psalm 27:14: ‘Wait on the Lord. Be strong. Let your heart take courage. Yes, wait on the Lord.’

Isaiah 40:31: ‘They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.’

 

So I encourage those of you are reading this today and even speaking to myself to keep waiting on the Lord. Continue to thank him in advance for the very thing you’re praying for. It’s a very hard season but it will be worth it in the end.

 

I pray you stay blessed and everything works out for you x

Does God really give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers?

​ I have been wanting to write a blog on the quote: “God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers” for some time, but didn’t quite know how to go about it. However, it is something that has been playing on my mind, so it’s time I wrote my thoughts on it.   So what does it mean for God to give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers? This quote illustrates that God specifically chooses people to endure a struggle that is worse than someone else’s because he knows those particular individuals will be able to handle it. So many people live by this quote. They believe that because they are going through a hard time that is deemed worse than others, automatically they must be assigned as Gods strongest soldier.  Nevertheless, I wrote this blog to explain how dangerous this quote is and I’ll tell you why.   The scripture warns us on comparing ourselves to others. It tells us in Galatians 6:4 ‘Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pri...

Should Christians celebrate Halloween?

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31 st and has a very dark, spiritual history. It was influenced by the traditional ancient Celtic festival of Samhain; where it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. It also marked the end of summer, the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death; a day deeply linked to ghost and superstitions. The Celts believed they could commune with the dead more easily on this day, therefore they would light bonfires and wear costumes typically made of animal heads to ward off the evil, harmful spirits. From the late 15 th century, people began wearing demonic outfits to represent winter spirts or demons. Individuals would mainly dress up as witches or the devil for Halloween. Witches use magic or supernatural powers to harm others and the Bible tells us that we should not be among those who engage in witchcraft, cast spells or consult the dead (Deuteron...
