Waiting can be hard.

Waiting for healing. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for provision. Waiting for the next open door.

And sometimes the hardest part is wondering whether anything is happening at all.

In this Best Of episode of I Choose Today, we revisit what it means to trust God in the process—not passively, but with a heart that is expectant, surrendered, prepared, and present.

Because waiting is not wasted when it is placed in God’s hands.

We’ll look at four ways to actively trust God in a waiting season:

Positioning — choosing to seek God and watch for His activity, even when He seems quiet.

Posturing — surrendering our timeline, expectations, and need for control.

Preparing — remaining faithful with what God has placed in front of us, even when the larger purpose is still hidden.

Practicing Presence — resisting the temptation to live for “when” and learning to recognize God in the life He has given us today.

Through the stories of Habakkuk, Zacchaeus, Hannah, Joseph, Mary, and a personal story of waiting for the right home, we’re reminded that what feels like delay may actually be preparation.

God may be doing His deepest work where we can least see it.

• Habakkuk 2:1–3
• Luke 19:3–4
• 1 Samuel 1:15
• James 4:10
• Luke 10:38–42
• Genesis 37–50

Ask yourself:

Where am I struggling to trust the process right now?

Then choose one posture for today:

• Position yourself to hear from God.
• Surrender something you are still trying to control.
• Faithfully prepare with what is already in your hands.
• Practice being fully present in the season you are in.

You do not have to figure out the whole process.

You only need to trust God with today.

Waiting is not punishment. It is a process.

What looks like delay may be development.

What feels hidden may be preparation.

And what seems slow may still be completely within God’s timing.

Waiting is never wasted in God’s hands.

So today, choose to trust the process.

He’s not late.

He’s working.

And He’s faithful.
