When we trust God’s timing, it’s much easier to have faith and remember that God is still in control when we feel stuck, unseen, and disheartened. Romans 8:28 says God works everything for the good of those who love Him. Sometimes, His plan is bigger, better, and longer-term than we realize. Whatever you’re hoping for – financial relief, a better relationship with your kids, or finally becoming pregnant after a series of miscarriages remember God’s aware of your hopes and desires, and He’s at work. 

It’s not always bad when things don’t seem to be working out, coming together, or progressing in any way we’ve imagined. This could be a season of growth and developing trust or character before God’s best can be brought to fruition. Just remember, God is never ambivalent to our needs. He feels and sees your disappointment with the compassion of a loving father.
