Waiting is its own kind of hard — not painful exactly, just heavy with not-knowing. These verses are for the in-between.
// the word for this moment
“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.”
Lamentations 3:25 (KJV)
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
Psalm 27:14 (KJV)“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)Waiting feels unproductive, like life on pause — which is exactly why it's hard. But Scripture never treats waiting as wasted time. Lamentations was written in genuine devastation, and even there, waiting is called good, not because the circumstances were good, but because of who it's directed toward. The waiting itself isn't the obstacle to the promise. Sometimes it's part of how the promise is formed in you.
