What to do During Your Waiting Season

There are different stages of life that man may experience a wait. This wait could be for a job, a spouse, the fruit of the womb, a breakthrough, relocation, or an answered prayer.

The in-between season is never easy, it can be frustrating and uncertain. But in God’s kingdom, waiting is never wasted.

One thing you have to understand first is that your journey is different. Do not let comparisons or complaints enter your conversation with God or man.

The likes of Abraham, Joseph, Hannah, Moses, David, etc… experienced waiting seasons, so yours isn’t the first.

Meanwhile, the waiting season is not just about patience, it’s about preparation, transformation, and deep trust in God.  

Below are four ways to maximize your waiting season:

1. Seek God Intentionally  

The waiting season is the perfect time to draw closer to God. This season is to deepen your prayer life and meditate on His Word. The Bible says in Lamentations 3:25, The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” Instead of complaining, cultivate a heart that seeks God daily.  

2. Develop Yourself  

While you wait, invest in personal growth. Learn new skills, read, and become the best version of yourself. Isaiah 40:31a says “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” This means waiting is not passive. It’s a time of renewal and preparation.  

3. Serve Faithfully  

Your waiting season can be a time of impact and blessing. So, engage in service to God and others. When Joseph was in prison, he didn’t waste his time, he served and interpreted dreams. This ultimately led to his elevation in Genesis 41:14.  

4. Hold onto Faith  

Waiting often comes with doubts, but remind yourself that God’s timing is perfect. Habakkuk 2:3 says, “Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come.” Have a strong belief that God is aligning things in His divine way.  

Waiting season isn’t punishment, it’s preparation. So, embrace the process, trust God’s timing, and use this season wisely.

Affirm with me: Every waiting is working for my good! (Romans 8:28).

Shalom.
