We all experience seasons of waiting, which can feel long and trying. It may feel so unbearable that it starts to take a toll on our patience, mental health, and even our faith in God’s purpose for our life. I’m currently in a season of waiting and even I can admit that it can get tough at times, especially when days, weeks, and months go by, and I still haven’t experienced much progression. BUT, God is an on time God, and He is working even when we don't see it. Below are 10 Bible verses about patience and God's timing to remind us that God is always with us - even in our season of waiting:
