God Hasn’t Forgotten You—Trust His Timing | Valiant Monday

But waiting faithfully doesn’t mean sitting still—and not every delay means you’re supposed to keep waiting.In this Valiant Monday, Mark Osborne examines the difference between waiting, preparing, and moving. Sometimes we try to force open a door God hasn’t opened. Other times, God has already opened the door, but fear keeps us from walking through it.Your responsibility isn’t to control God’s timing. Your responsibility is to remain faithful, prepare for what He may be doing, and move when He makes the next step clear.Captivate full show notesHave you been praying for direction but still don’t see any doors opening?
