Reflection

We mistake waiting for wasted time. But God does deep work in the stillness. Roots grow in hidden soil. When it feels like nothing’s happening—He’s preparing everything.

Challenge

Take 5 minutes of silence today. Let God speak in the stillness. Don’t rush.

Lyrics

I thought waiting meant nothing was done Sitting in silence, chasing no sun But beneath the stillness, seeds took root God was working in quiet pursuit Every door closed felt like delay But grace was building a better way While I was restless, He was near Shaping my future, quiet and clear
The waiting was the work, not wasted time A holy pause in Heaven’s rhyme While I stood still, His plan unfurled Bringing peace to a rushing world
I learned patience isn’t standing still It’s trusting God to bend my will And now I see with clearer eyes The waiting wrote my strongest lines
The waiting was the work, not wasted time A holy pause in Heaven’s rhyme While I stood still, His plan unfurled Bringing peace to a rushing world
So if you’re caught in quiet today Don’t fear the silence—just pray The waiting is the work, it’s true God’s writing something good in you
The waiting was the work, not wasted time A holy pause in Heaven’s rhyme While I stood still, His plan unfurled Bringing peace to a rushing world

Prayer

God, I surrender to the season I’m in. Teach me to trust the quiet and rest in Your timing. Let this waiting grow something beautiful in me. Amen.
