The Strength to Wait: Trusting God When Life Feels Stuck
from Mindset Renewal & Empowered Faith with Kristin Campbell · host Kristin Campbell
In This Episode Waiting is unavoidable—but how we wait determines whether the season becomes one of discouragement or spiritual growth. David's life reminds us that God's promises often involve seasons of preparation before fulfillment. Although David was anointed king as a young man, he waited years while fleeing from Saul and living in caves. Yet it was during those difficult years that God shaped his character and deepened his dependence on Him. Rather than allowing waiting to produce fear and frustration, Scripture invites us to wait with: Confident expectation that God is faithful to His promises. Patience that restrains us from running ahead of God's timing. Faith that trusts God's character even when circumstances seem unchanged. Hope that remembers God is always working behind the scenes. Kristin also shares the important reminder that sometimes God isn't making us wait—He may actually be waiting for us to surrender our own plans, timing, and self-reliance. When we stop striving and begin trusting, waiting becomes a place where God strengthens our hearts, renews our faith, and prepares us for what He has already prepared.
