The Sure Word for Today

Day 4: Overcoming Weariness in the Waiting

Waiting is one of the hardest tests of perseverance. Weariness often creeps in when answers seem delayed, and discouragement whispers that nothing is changing. Isaiah 40:31 declares, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Waiting on God is not wasted time, it is preparation for strength and breakthrough.

Hannah’s years of waiting for a child were filled with tears, yet her persistence in prayer was rewarded with Samuel, a prophet who changed a nation. Weariness could have silenced her, but faith kept her voice lifted to God. The waiting season is not meant to break you but to build your resilience and deepen your trust.

Today, choose to fight weariness with worship, prayer, and thanksgiving. Waiting is not passive. It is an active trust that God is working behind the scenes, and His timing is perfect.

Connect (Your Challenge and Response)

Your challenge may be feeling weary because the waiting seems endless. Your response must be to trust that God is renewing your strength in the delay.

Extend (Faith in Action)

Turn your waiting season into a time of preparation. Instead of focusing on what you lack, focus on strengthening your faith through prayer, study, and service.

Reflection And Application

Write down one area where you are weary of waiting. Ask God to renew your strength and declare that His timing is best.
