You start to wonder, start to question what you heard, what you believe. Your heart might get hard, you might start to feel sorry for yourself, and others will tell you to quit.
“Quit holding on to something that no one can see.”
“Quit holding on to your hope that things will turn around.”
“Quit wasting time and move on.”
When our hope runs out we get hard, our hearts get heavy and our guard goes up. We no longer trust; we no longer believe that what we are waiting for will turn around in our favor. We believe the lie that these are the cards we have been dealt, so now we have to make the most of it. Then we run. We run in the opposite direction from God, from anything to do with someone else helping us. We run so we can control, so our hardships won’t happen. And then we run right into the enemy's arms. The devil loves when we are down. He loves when we lose hope, because it’s at this time, it’s this dangerous territory, the devil wins.
Whatever promises the Lord has given you: restoring your marriage, a promotion, an increase, a new job, a family, a significant other, a companion, a ministry, a salvation, know that what the Lord speaks, He keeps.
While you are waiting, Gods working on your behalf, He’s working on all the promises He has for you. With Jesus any situation, no matter how hard or how hopeless, can be turned, in an instant, if He is involved.
It isn’t up to you to turn your situation around; it’s up to you to turn to God. God's working on your behalf every day, every minute and every second, He never stops. Just because you can’t see it in the physical does not mean work isn’t being done in the spiritual. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, dust yourself off and rejoice that the creator of all beings is working on your behalf today.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made
