Have you ever waited for something—an answer, an opportunity, a result—and found yourself spiraling with worry? I know I have. In this episode, I share personal stories of times I struggled to trust God in the waiting, including a career-defining decision, a nerve-wracking medical test, and even an airport visa delay that forced me to let go of control. I also reveal the dangerous habit of creating false narratives in my head and how shifting my focus to trust—rather than fear—completely changed my perspective. If waiting has ever felt unbearable for you, this episode is for you.

You don’t have to be comfortable to trust God. You don’t have to feel in control to believe He’s working. But you do have to let go of the false stories and lean into trust—because on the other side of waiting, there’s something better than you could ever imagine.

Topics Discussed:

• Why waiting is so uncomfortable for me (and maybe for you, too)
• How I let fear take over when I didn’t get a response right away
• The stories I created in my head—and why none of them were true
• The difference between trusting God and just being patient
• A powerful mindset shift that helped me wait with peace

This week’s affirmation:

“God, I trust You in the waiting, and I trust You in the stillness.”

Practical Exercise / Homework:

Think about an area of your life where you're struggling to trust in the waiting. Is it a job, a relationship, a decision, or something else? Now, ask yourself:

• What are the false stories I’ve been telling myself about this situation? Are my thoughts based on facts or on fear, control, and worry?
• What truth can I replace those stories with? Instead of assuming the worst, what can I tell myself that aligns with faith and trust?
• How can I wait with more peace this week? What small shift in my thoughts, actions, or prayers can help me surrender control?
