God, Why am I Still Waiting? | Faith Under Fire, Part 2 | Ep 59 - AUDIO ONLY

Are you waiting on God and wondering why He hasn’t answered your prayer yet? Waiting on God can test your faith in ways getting an immediate answer never will. When the answer doesn’t come, we start asking: Does God hear me? Does He care? Why is this taking so long? Should I take matters into my own hands? In Part 2 of the Faith Under Fire series, we’re talking about how to trust God’s timing when you’re tired of waiting, how fear can expose the areas where our faith needs strengthening, and what it really means to surrender our plans and say, “Lord, Your will be done.” We’ll look at Abraham and Sarah and what happened when impatience caused them to try to speed up God’s promise. We’ll look at David and Goliath and ask whether we're measuring our giants against our own strength—or God’s. And finally, we’ll go to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, where He gives us one of the greatest examples of surrender: “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” — Matthew 26:39 I also share a very personal testimony about a season when I was tired, angry, afraid, and finally reached the point where I told God, essentially, “Fine, Lord. I surrender.” That experience changed the way I understand faith, waiting, and giving God the outcome I desperately wanted to control. Maybe you're waiting for healing. Maybe you're waiting for an answer. Maybe you're waiting for a relationship, a job, a breakthrough, a change in your family, or a prayer you've prayed over and over again. Whatever your waiting season looks like, ask yourself: Am I trusting God—or trying to rush Him? What could God be protecting me from in the wait? Am I responding with fear or faith? Have I actually surrendered the outcome to Him? Can I still say, “Your will be done,” if His answer looks different from mine? God sees what we cannot see. And sometimes the waiting season isn't just about receiving the thing we're praying for—it exposes what is happening inside of us while we wait. “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31 🎙️ Scriptures discussed: James 1:2–4 • Genesis 15:1–6 • Genesis 16:1–4 • Genesis 21:1–7 • Isaiah 40:31 • Romans 8:25 • Psalm 27:13–14 • 1 Samuel 17:32–47 • Psalm 56:3–4 • Isaiah 41:10 • 2 Timothy 1:7 • Matthew 26:36–46 • Proverbs 16:9 If you're currently waiting on God, I pray this episode reminds you that you aren't alone.
