“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.”
Isaiah 40:31
Waiting is its own kind of tired. Not the clean exhaustion of hard work, but the slow ache of not knowing — the unanswered prayer, the delayed yes, the door that still hasn’t opened.
Isaiah doesn’t promise the wait will be short. He promises something better: that hoping in the Lord renews strength from the inside out. The waiting itself becomes the place where God rebuilds you.
So if you’re in the in-between today, you are not falling behind. You are being renewed for what’s next. Strength is coming — not around the waiting, but through it.
A prayer
Father, waiting is hard, and I am tired of not knowing. Renew my strength while I wait on You. Teach me to trust Your timing more than my own, and to find You right here in the meantime. Amen.
Watch the reflection
Keep going
For hope
For weariness
