Submit to the Waiting

Many of you find yourselves in the uncomfortable space of waiting, says the Lord. Something has ended but the new has not yet begun. Healing is needed but not yet fulfilled. Finances are at breaking point, and it seems no rescue has come. This is no mistake, for I am in the midst of preparing a people for a season that will require greater strength and stamina than ever before.

Yet many have not inquired of My Spirit. Instead, they have resisted the season and sought escape from the tension. But there is a submission that must happen here. In the waiting, strength is forged. In the heaviness, resilience is formed.

The weight of this place is not random—it is highly strategic and deeply intentional. It is My kindness and mercy that holds you in the waiting, for without it, you would not be equipped for the days ahead. So I invite you once again: submit to the weight in the waiting, that you might arise as My glorious strength upon the earth.

Activation
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you have resisted the season of waiting. Invite Him to show you how He is building strength, endurance, and faith in this place. Choose to bless the waiting instead of resenting it, declaring that His timing is perfect.

Prayer:

Lord, I repent for the times I have resisted or despised the waiting. I submit afresh to Your timing, trusting that Your ways are perfect. Forgive me for seeking escape instead of leaning into Your Spirit. Build in me the strength, stamina, and resilience I will need for the days ahead. I embrace the weight in the waiting, and I declare that Your mercy is holding me steady. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.James 1:2-4 (ESV)
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
