Hope in the Dark – Part 2: Waiting on God
1. Where in my life am I currently waiting on God, and how is that season stretching my faith?
“For the revelation awaits an appointed time… Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.” Habakkuk 2:3 (NIV)
“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Reflect:
What does trusting God’s timing look like in this season?
2. When I feel discouraged or confused, do I move closer to God or pull away from Him? Why? "I will stand at my watch… I will look to see what He will say to me.” Habakkuk 2:1 (NIV)
“Come near to God and He will come near to you.” James 4:8 (NIV)
Reflect:
What practical steps can I take to draw nearer to God during difficult moments?
3. What has God already spoken into my life that I need to remember, write down, and hold onto?
“Write down the revelation and make it plain…” Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV)
“I will remember the deeds of the Lord… I will consider all your works.” Psalm 77:11–12 (NIV)
Reflect:
How can recording God’s words and works strengthen my faith?
4. What doubts, fears, or frustrations am I currently wrestling with, and how can I cling to God instead of letting go?
“The righteous will live by his faithfulness.” Habakkuk 2:4 (NIV)
“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 (NIV)
Reflect:
Where do I need to trust God more deeply, even when I don’t understand?
5. How can I actively choose faith and worship while I wait, even before I see answers?
“The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.” Habakkuk 2:20 (NIV)
“For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.” Psalm 34:1 (NIV)
Reflect:
What does worship look like in my current waiting season?
