Betsy Childs Howard
“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn't waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”
Betsy Childs Howard, Seasons of Waiting: Walking by Faith When Dreams Are Delayed

Wayne Stiles
“One reason many people never see God working in their lives is because they never hang in long enough for God to show his power.”
Wayne Stiles, Waiting on God: What to Do When God Does Nothing

“This is the most precious answer God can give us: wait. It makes us cling to him rather than to an outcome. God knows what I need; I do not. He sees the future; I cannot. His perspective is eternal; mine is not. He will give me what is best for me when it is best for me.”
Vaneetha Rendall Risner, The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering

Tessa Afshar
“I try to remember that walking in the will of God might mean waiting as much as it might mean moving forward.”
Tessa Afshar, Harvest of Gold

“Foolishly, the people continue to seek a military alliance and a political solution. The people in captivity may not be too different from people today. If people in contemporary society spent as much time praying for God's mercy as they did watching television and listening to political rants, society might be more stable. Busyness, noise, and distrust abound. But, the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel said, "In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15). Do you rest in the Lord? Do you spend quiet time with Him? Is your strength found in trusting in the Lord or in others? "Therefore, the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him (Isaiah 30:18)." Take some time to wait on God.”
Monsignor Charles Kosanke, Come & See Catholic Bible Study: Isaiah

Wayne Stiles
“Waiting is a very active part of living. Waiting on God, if we do it correctly, is anything but passive. Waiting works its way out in very deliberate actions, very intentionally searching the Scriptures and praying, intense moments of humility, and self-realization of our finiteness. With the waiting comes learning. I can’t think of much I’ve learned that’s positive from the times I’ve plowed ahead without waiting on God.”
Wayne Stiles, Waiting on God: What to Do When God Does Nothing

Wayne Stiles
“The Lord was with Joseph, and Joseph remained forgotten for two years. Both were equally true.”
Wayne Stiles, Waiting on God: What to Do When God Does Nothing

“Away from the goal
Far away I stand from my home.
A home unknown
Where my heart and spirit must go

Thy guidance oh Lord
Thy guidance oh lord
Eternal eternity I beseech
that You will lead me to the goal


Away from victory
far away I stand from victory
Victory unknown; thy spirit divine I know
that You may lead me where I must go


Thy guidance oh Lord
Thy guidance oh lord
Victorious victory I beseech
that You will lead me to a victorious victory

Away from the troubles of life
far away from the troubles; my delight
that You will lead me with thy light
Thy light that rekindles my night


Thy guidance oh Lord
Thy guidance oh lord
Far away from the troubles I beseech
That You will lead me from the troubles of life with Thy light”
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Elizabeth Musser
“He forced his mind clear of other thoughts and waited. Stillness, he had learned, did not come naturally. He practiced it. Sometimes, as he waited, he heard the Lord’s voice coursing through his spirit almost audibly. Other times he heard nothing, but he felt filled up and satisfied and understood.”
Elizabeth Musser, Words Unspoken

Elisabeth Elliot
“[God] seems so much 'for us' these days. I have not lost one nameable thing by putting her and our whole affair in the simplest way possible into His hands. There has been no careful planning, no worrying over details in the matter. I have simply recognized love in me, declared it to her, and to Him, and as frankly as I could told Him I wanted His way in it. There has been no leading thus far to engagement, but the symptoms of a beautiful courtship prevail - not, perhaps, a routine one, or a 'normal' one, but a good one, nevertheless, and, withal, a deep sense that it is God-directed.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot

Germany Kent
“God is intentional. HE is deliberate, precise, and knows what HE is doing. Your job is to keep the faith, wait on Him and know that HE is God.”
Germany Kent

Pete Greig
“So I'm waiting for God, and God is waiting for me to see if I am really waiting for him, and not just wanting things from him.”
Pete Greig, Red Moon Rising: How 24-7 Prayer Is Awakening a Generation

Dave Samples
“Here is what I know to be true: messed up men will often panic and try to control the chaos. Waiting is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines. Waiting is spelled T-R-U-S-T.”
Dave Samples, Messed Up Men of the Bible

Dana Arcuri
“As we grow our faith, we wait in silence. As we listen for His voice, we have hope that He will speak. It may not be a loud boom or thunder, but a soft whisper. He may use a song, a butterfly, a sermon, a stranger, or even a red cardinal, but there is hope that God will come through for us.”
Dana Arcuri, Sacred Wandering: Growing Your Faith In The Dark

Andrena Sawyer
“A little patience is better than a lot of regret.”
Andrena Sawyer

Pete Greig
“Waiting on God, according to Scripture, is not a passive, vacuous state but rather an active process of asking, seeking and engaging with his Spirit.”
Pete Greig, Red Moon Rising: How 24-7 Prayer Is Awakening a Generation

Gift Gugu Mona

Gift Gugu Mona, Prayer: An Antidote for the Inner Man

“The Sovereign Lord of the Universe has no obligation whatsoever to answer you for anything that He does in your life and mine”
Royal Raj S

Karen "Zow" Kolzow, Knots In Aunty's Rope

“I stood in front of the class. I announced who I was and what I was going through. I was transparent about my situation and circumstance. I answered questions and endured criticism. Then, I took my seat in the back and remained quiet. I did not make a noise as I waited for my name to be called.”
Niedria D. Kenny

“No hace falta que tu espera sea improductiva, Él conoce nuestros infatigables corazones. Conoce nuestra necesidad de hacer mientras esperamos. Así que cuando tu vida está detenida por lo que no puedes controlar, y cuando estás aguardando respuestas que parecen nunca llegar, Dios dice que uses ese tiempo para trabajar donde te encuentras. Dios dice que aprendas el arte de esperar con propósito.”
Karon Phillips

“Puedes cumplir con el propósito del Señor y mientras esperar con esperanza.”
Karon Phillips, Señor, estás tarde otra vez: Guía para la mujer impaciente ante los tiempos de Dios

“There can be unexpected events, unreasonable waiting, unpredictable people and an uncertain future, yet nothing happens beyond the sovereign knowledge of an unchanging God”
