Are you going through hardships and struggles where keeping the faith is hard to do? You question and doubt, yet God's word gives encouragement in that struggle. It is in that struggle and uncertainty where God will not only show up, but your faith will grow stronger as a result of your dependence on him.
Isaiah 30: 18-21.
18 Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you,
And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
How blessed are all those who long for Him.
19 O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. 20 Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, “[e]This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.
Are you trusting in God to enlighten your path each step of the way, trusting that the road will appear as you keep walking, listening to his still small voice.
I encourage you, as you "wait" upon the Lord, to read his word and be encouraged to hang on wherever life has you.
