Welcome to those of you who’ve landed here after reading my Proverbs 31 devotion Wait Training 101. If you haven’t read it, click here to catch up with the rest of us.
Ever feel like this screen shot from my phone sums up your life perfectly?
Yeah. Me too.
Let’s chat about waiting today.
What are you currently waiting on God about? How long has it been? What do you do while you are waiting that helps to settle your heart and mind? What do you think about the concept from the devotion of “waiting on God” like a maid or butler or waiter?
And let’s help one of you along as you wait. That person will win this giveaway:
It includes:
~ A Mission of God brown leatherette Bible in the Holman Christian Standard version
~ A Bible highlighter
~ Three plaid journals (to journal while you wait)
~Some Cinnamon coffee to sip while you wait
~ Some Caribbean Escape hand soap (You know the signs always say all employees–including waiters–must wash hands!)
~A copy of my newest book LET. IT. GO. How to Stop Running the Show & Start Walking in Faith. (It is on how to stop trying to control and start trusting God)

I’m waiting……….:)
Face book and email.
I am waiting for a move that will happen in about 6 months, Lord willing. I have waited 25 years what’s another 5 or 6 months. I have a great prayer and support team and that is how HE lifts me up. I’d love the book and Journal. I have about 15 or more journals that chronicle the years of waiting on God.
He is strong in my weakness.
I am waiting for my prayer to be answered, the reconciliation between my brother (he is a Jesus follower) and his son (and the prayer of his salvation). Thank you, Lord.
Karen, thank you for this devotion and I do receive your emails. I have also purchased Let.It.Go., and it has ministered to me. Would love to share with a friend.
Blessings!
This last year has been a difficult one. Two of my good friends that live three hours away from me have gotten engaged, I will be a bridesmaid for them in April. This will be the 10th wedding I’ve been in. Two of my roommates have recently started dating as well and are likely to married before the end of the year. I am waiting on God’s timing and on His perfect plan for my life.
I followed you on FB and Pinterest and also signed up for emails.
Waiting on the salvation of a loved one.
Thanks for the new perspective on ‘waiting’ on God. STILL pondering this one…
(and just because you said to, I’ve tweeted, pinned, shared on facebook, followed on Pinterest and I think everything else you asked about. I THINK I still get the emails – not sure if I stopped those when I added your blog to my Google Reader. lol)
God bless!
I’m new to learning the Bible and crave to learn more about making the Lord a part of my life. I have liked your website and enjoy your your devotions each day.
Wow!
Thank you Karen. I have been so very very low lately, to the past the point of tears, and onto the Pastor’s appointment calendar. Thank you ever so much for your timely message.I look forward to putting your suggestions into action as I “wait” on the Lord.
PS: I would love to be blessed recipient of the gift, God knows I could use it!
Blessings,
Loretta
I read the proverbs 31 devotional today and it was just what I needed. I’ve been and will continue to pray for my daughter to surrender to the Lord. I’m praying for her to know Gods love, grace, forgiveness, acceptance, etc. it’s been a few years but I am sure I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living :) thank you for this devotional. I needed the encouragement. It gets hard and lonely sometimes praying for a prodigal.
I am a newbie – found your blog today from the Proverbs 31 Devotion – I also signed up for your emails, liked your facebook page, following you on Pinterest, and shared this giveaway on facebook. Would love to win, thanks!
Today’s devotion was just what I needed today – I love God’s timing! I love this verse, but I’ve never heard it broken down like you did, makes more sense to me now, thanks for that! Waiting on the Lord has been difficult for me, my flesh is weak and I want an answer now. I would like prayer on where God wants me to live, our landlord wants to sell our home, and it’s impossible to find a rental in my son’s school district that I can afford. Thank-you very much!
I love this devotion! I already subscribed here, but I added Pinterest and Facebook. Thank you!
While I’d love to win the giveaway, I have to say that this devotion was right on track with what I needed to read today. I love how God seems to do that. :) Thank you.
the effort. (Sorry I hit post by mistake) now I finished.
Waiting has been the story of my life. Waiting till I was 30 to meet my husband, waiting to get pregnant (never happened) and then waiting to adopt our daughter. Waiting for houses to sell and most recently waiting for my husband to find a job after being forced into early retirement 2 years ago. That waiting ended today Praise God!!! The one thing I have learned from my waiting is that God has always been faithful to provide what I need when I needed it. And that when I have not waited on His perfect timing I have missed a huge blessing by settleing for second best. I have learned that waiting tmay be hard but well worth
If anyone is interested, I recently received a copy of the Mission Study Bible and it is great! Since I already have one, I am not entering the contest, but I encourage anyone else to do so.
Great message today. I have always struggled with waiting on God. I didn’t trust Him, or anyone for that matter. I had been hurt often and learned that I could only rely on myself to make things happen. I have now traveled far enough on my healing journey to trust God with my life (at least most of the time). So now I am waiting. I know he has plans for my life. Plans to take my scars and turn them into something beautiful and that excites me but for once in my life I am content to wait for him to show my how an when instead of rushing in ahead and making things happen myself.
Liked on FB, Pinned and signed up for your emails.
Thank you for such a great giveaway. I filled many journal pages during a waiting period of my life. I love to go back and read how God was working and growing me then.
I subscribe to your blog via email. Following on pinterest and twitter.
Thank you for this post. I am waiting on The Lord for so many things….for Him to take my daddy with Alzheimer’s to heaven to be with Mama, for my husband to come back to Him, for my teenage son’s healing and trust in Him after a childhood trauma, and for Him to come get us. I struggle with so many failings of Him and know that’s where I’ll finally be fixed. Thank you for the inspiration to keep waiting, knowing I’m not alone on this hard, long road. You don’t know how much it helped me today.
I see no point in facebooking, and think it can lead to wickedness.
I am waiting for God while my kids are away at college to guide me in the next phase of my life as I explore my options after being a stay-at-home mom. Wonderful give-away! Thank you!
I am a terrible waiter!! I want things right away, or at least within a reasonable amount of time! my time, of course! I am waiting on some friends I am praying for – for God to move in their lives and give them the desires of their heart! I have one friend in particular that I have been praying for to be able to conceive a child. I have prayed this same prayer for my son and his wife, and they just recently had their first baby! Now, the waiting continues. Thank you for speaking God’s word and truth in a way that makes sense to so many and helps us to learn to continue to wait!!
I am waiting on God to help build/restore a relationship with my 12 year old adopted daughter. I pray and wait because as I am learning from your book, LET it go, I can’t control it all. Thanks for your encouraging words! Blessings to you and yours!
My sister-in-law shared this website with me just a couple of days ago. That day and todays devotional really spoke to me. I have been desperately “waiting” on God, for the past year, to save my marriage. Things don’t look good at this point, but any thing is possible with God, and so I continue to wait. I will try to “wait” on the Lord in a new light and trust in his timing.
I forgot to mention that I subscribe via email.
What a wonderful reminder in our society of “now”! Have a blessed weekend!
I subscribe by email Karen…thanks :)
Thanks for the giveaway..and your encouraging words…have a blessed weekend!
