Trusting God's Timing

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Reading: Ecclesiastes 3

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

Trusting God's plan also means trusting His timing. The Israelites had to wait before entering the Promised Land, and we, too, often find ourselves in seasons of waiting. Waiting can feel frustrating, but God’s timing is perfect. He sees what we cannot and is working in ways beyond our understanding. Instead of rushing ahead or doubting His plan, how can you rest in the assurance that God is in control of the timing of your life?

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Lord, help me to trust not only Your plan but also Your timing. Give me patience and peace in the waiting, knowing that You are always working for my good.
3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.  

Take Action:

1. Write down an area of your life where you're struggling with waiting and surrender it to God in prayer.
2. Look for ways to be faithful and grow spiritually in your current season instead of focusing on the future.
