In my own personal seasons of waiting, I've found it much too easy to entertain thoughts and feelings that make cause me to question God’s character.
A few examples:
What did I do to deserve this?
God, have you forgotten me?
You’ve done this for others—why not me?
Life can often lead us to fixate on temporary, earthly things. Yet, when we stand on the truth of God’s Word, knowing that He cannot lie, we must bring those thoughts and feelings into submission to the obedience of Christ. God promises that He will not withhold any good thing from us. Since His Word is true, we must ask ourselves: Is it good? Or are we good? This doesnt mean it will never be good we just need to wait a little longer and allow God to work
The waiting season is often a time of preparation and pruning, where God works to remove what is not good in us—or in the very thing we’re waiting for.
Would you eat a meal that isn’t fully cooked?
Would you live in a house that’s only half-built?
Would you drive a car with no brake lines?
The answers may seem obvious, but so is this: the God who created you, who loves you enough to know the very number of hairs on your head, will not withhold any good thing from you. He knows the end from the beginning. Trust Him. Lean not on your own understanding, and let Him complete His good work in you.
Prayer:
Lord God, I thank You for protecting me from dangers, both seen and unseen. I repent for the times I’ve been angry with You and for believing in You, yet not fully trusting You. Search my heart, Lord, and reveal anything in me that may be blocking the good You have planned for my life. Give me a renewed desire to seek Your face, not just Your hand. Open my spiritual eyes so I can see beyond the natural and focus on Your eternal promises. I thank You, Lord, that You are faithful and keep Your Word.
Declaration:
The Lord witholds no good thing from me!
