Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.’

‘The only thing worse than waiting for God, is wishing you had.’

‘Day after day, as we wait for the things we desire, we become different people.’

No one likes waiting. But, what if waiting is actually good for us? What if the act of waiting is even more important than the thing we’re waiting for?
Join us for a four-part series to explore how to wait well.
As part of this series, we will be reflecting personally on how to wait well in different seasons of life. We will also reflect on on how we, as a church, wait well in this period of looking forward to the building project.

Waiting rooms aren’t usually our favourite places. They feel like delays, interruptions, and time we’d rather skip.
But what if waiting is actually where something important happens?
Psalm 27 shows us that waiting on God is not passive - it’s active trust. It’s seeking, growing, preparing, and choosing faithfulness today while we trust God with tomorrow.Bible passage: Psalm 27

Sometimes the hardest part of waiting isn’t the waiting itself - it’s what it does to our hearts. When things take longer than we hoped, disappointment can slowly turn into doubt, and doubt can quietly become cynicism.
But what if waiting could look different? What if we could learn to wait with expectation, hope, and even enthusiasm?
In Psalm 77, Asaph doesn’t ignore his struggles or pretend everything is fine. He brings his questions to God, and then makes a deliberate choice: ‘I will remember.’
Enthusiastic waiting doesn’t come from ignoring what’s hard - it comes from remembering the God who has been faithful before, and trusting him with what is still ahead.

Do you remember the excitement of waiting for something you knew was coming? The anticipation of Christmas morning, a special day, or a long-awaited moment? You weren’t wondering whether it would arrive - you were watching for it.
In Psalm 130, the psalmist describes waiting for God in the same way. Like a watchman looking for the dawn, he waits with expectation and hope.
Waiting on God isn’t about sitting back until something happens. It’s about keeping our eyes open, ready to see him at work.

Waiting can feel like losing control. We want answers, movement, and certainty - but God often invites us into something deeper: trust.
In Psalm 40, David looks back on a season of waiting and discovers that God meets him there. He doesn’t come away with a perfect explanation or a plan to manage the future, but with a heart that has learned to depend on God.
Surrendered waiting is not giving up or simply accepting what happens. It is choosing to place our hopes, our timing, and our future in the hands of the One who can be trusted.
