Seasons of Waiting (and What God Is Doing in Them) | Ep. 33

“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” — Lamentations 3:25–26  Grab your FREE Devotional & check out the Show Notes! Waiting is one of the hardest places to live—especially as a mom. We’re used to doing, fixing, planning, and making things happen. We keep the home moving, the schedules running, and the needs met. So when God places us in a season where we can’t force the outcome—where we can’t rush the process or control the timing—it can feel like we’re stuck… or even falling behind. But Scripture tells us something different. Waiting isn’t wasted. God is still working. In this episode of the Rooted Woman Podcast, we’re talking about what God is doing in the waiting—and how to trust Him when life feels slow, uncertain, or unresolved. Whether you’re waiting on breakthrough in your child, healing in your heart, clarity in your calling, provision in your finances, or growth in your relationships… this episode will remind you that God’s silence is not His absence. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: • Why waiting feels so hard in motherhood • The difference between God’s silence and His absence • How waiting becomes a place of growth and preparation • What God is forming in you beneath the surface • Letting go of control and trusting God’s timing • How to anchor your heart in truth instead of worry Sometimes waiting feels like nothing is happening. But just like a seed doesn’t sprout the moment it’s planted, God often does His deepest work underground—strengthening your faith, shaping your character, and preparing you for what you’ve been praying for. And mama, this matters. Because waiting isn’t just something you experience—it’s something you model. Your children are watching how you trust God in the unknown. They’re learning what it looks like to stay steady, even when life feels uncertain. This episode is a gentle reminder that: You are not behind. You are not forgotten. And God is not withholding good from you. He is preparing you. He is protecting you. And He is working—even when you can’t see it. If you’re in a season of waiting, this conversation will help you shift from striving to surrender, from worry to trust, and from frustration to faith. Because waiting isn’t punishment—it’s invitation. An invitation to trust. An invitation to grow. An invitation to walk closely with God right where you are. 🌿 Connect with me: Instagram: @iamsarahwalston Facebook: Sarah Walston 🎧 Listen to the Rooted Woman Podcast on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Amazon Music YouTube iHeartRadio …and all major listening platforms. ⭐ If this episode encouraged you: Share it with a friend who needs hope today.
