Melt my 💕 Daily Dose - Psalms 31:24 - When the Wait Feels Like Too Much...

Psalms 31:24 (ESV): ‘Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD’

📍Waiting on God isn’t always peaceful. Sometimes it feels like silence... unanswered prayers. Like watching doors stay shut while your heart grows tired from knocking. If you are in that place, wrestling with disappointment, wondering if God sees you, you’re not alone.

Waiting is one of the hardest parts of faith. It tests our trust, stretches our patience, and often brings us face-to-face with our deepest fears. Today's scripture is an invitation to hold on, to stay grounded in a God who is still good, even when His timing doesn’t make sense. Sigh... especially to us 'Planner's', expecting all to go accordingly.

The affirmations below are for the days when you’re barely hanging on. Speak them over yourself. Let them become your breath prayers. Let them remind you: even in the waiting, you are deeply seen, fully loved, and never alone. Hang in there, God's got you💕.

Dear Lord:  In the waiting, I choose to trust You.  Give me strength when I feel weak, and courage when my heart grows weary. Your timing is perfect, and Your promises are true.  Help me to wait with faith, knowing You are working even now. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name we Pray, Amen.
