Waiting is one of the hardest things God asks us to do. We want answers now, doors open now, breakthrough now. But Scripture teaches that waiting is not wasted—it’s one of God’s most powerful tools to shape us, strengthen us, and align us with His perfect timing. Let’s walk through ten passages that show why God calls us into seasons of waiting.

1. Waiting Renews Strength

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV):

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

2. Waiting Teaches Us God’s Timing

Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV):

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

3. Waiting Builds Endurance in Trials

Romans 5:3–4 (NKJV):

“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

4. Waiting Is Part of God’s Goodness

Lamentations 3:25–26 (NKJV):

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”

5. Waiting Keeps Us from Running Ahead of God

Psalm 27:14 (NKJV):

“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!”

6. Waiting Prepares Us to Receive the Promise

Hebrews 6:12 (NKJV):

“That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

7. Waiting Shows God Is Working All Things for Good

Romans 8:28 (NKJV):

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

8. Waiting Protects Us from the Wrong Door

Psalm 37:7 (NKJV):

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”

9. Waiting Produces Blessing in Due Season

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV):

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

10. Waiting Prepares Us for Christ’s Return

Titus 2:13 (NKJV):

“Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Beloved, if you are in a season of waiting, remember this: waiting is not wasted. God is renewing your strength, building your character, protecting you from wrong doors, and aligning you with His perfect timing. The waiting is a setup for the promise. Be of good courage, and wait on the Lord!
