Have you ever read one of God’s promises and felt a quiet ache inside? You hold onto that promise with hope, yet wonder why it has not come true in your life. Perhaps you have begun to wonder whether God sees your pain or whether His promises truly apply to you. You read about healing, comfort, peace, and joy, but your heart still feels heavy and uncertain.
Do you hate waiting? I do. That’s why I can relate to Sarah’s story. Waiting was hard for her, too. As a child, my mom often reminded me, “Good things come to those who wait.” This might be because I’ve never been very patient. In fact, my husband used to call me the “minute plus” lady because of how I microwaved food. I was too impatient to punch in the time and level. Instead, I pushed the “minute plus” button several times and cooked everything fast and on high. Of course, my impatience frequently led to overcooked, rubbery food.
