Bible Verses About Waiting
Verses for those in seasons of waiting — when God's timing feels slow and the promise feels distant.
Waiting is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines. These verses on waiting speak directly to the tension between God's promises and our experience of delay. Wait for the LORD — your soul waits, and in His word you hope. The vision is for an appointed time; though it tarry, wait for it. God's timing is not forgetfulness; it is faithfulness. What He has promised, He will do. And in the waiting, He is not absent — He is forming something in you that could not be formed any other way.
“I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.”
Psalm 130:5
