There’s something about waiting that makes people uncomfortable.
Maybe it’s the silence. Maybe it’s the slowness. Maybe it’s the fact that we live in a world obsessed with instant results and visible success.
But here’s what most people don’t see when someone is in a waiting season:
They don’t see what God is doing in that person.
Because they’re too focused on what hasn’t happened yet.
When you’re in the middle of trusting God for a breakthrough—whether it’s healing, provision, direction, or restoration—it can feel like all eyes are on the outcome. People start to question things. “Isn’t she still waiting?” “Didn’t he pray about that years ago?” “Why is nothing changing?”
But what they don’t realise is that waiting isn’t wasted. God never wastes a waiting season.
They don’t see how He’s pruning your heart, stretching your faith, softening your pride, healing deep places, and reshaping your perspective.
They don’t see the secret tears, the quiet obedience, the slow death of ego, the strengthening of your spiritual backbone.
They don’t see the inner transformation that’s far more powerful than any external blessing.
Because while they’re looking for a miracle, God is building maturity.
While they’re measuring fruit, God is developing roots.
So if you’re praying for a breakthrough—yours or someone else’s—remember this truth:
God is not slow. He is strategic.
And His greatest work often happens in us before it ever shows through us.
To the one who’s in the waiting, this is your reminder:
You’re not stuck.
You’re being shaped.
And one day, when the answer comes—and it will come—people won’t just see what God did for you.
They’ll see what He built in you.
So let them talk. Let them wonder. Let them watch.
God is working.
And you’re not behind schedule.
You’re right on time.
