13. When God’s Timing Feels Too Slow: Why Waiting Isn’t Punishment, It’s Preparation
Manage episode 519907310 series 3680544
You’ve prayed.
You’ve obeyed.
You’ve waited.
And still, nothing seems to move. The doors stay closed. The breakthrough feels overdue. You watch other people’s lives accelerating while yours looks frozen.
If you’ve ever whispered, “God, what are You doing?” this episode is for you.
In this raw and faith-anchored conversation on The Pursuit Podcast, we get painfully honest about a truth most believers avoid: God’s timing will frustrate you. It will test your faith, stretch your patience, and expose the limits of your trust. But hidden in the waiting is something holy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why God’s timing rarely matches our expectations — and why His slower pace often protects what your speed would destroy.
- How delay is divine design, not denial — the unseen process that transforms prayers into maturity.
- What Scripture reveals about slow seasons — including Ecclesiastes 3:11, 2 Peter 3:9, and Habakkuk 2:3, three passages that redefine what “on time” really means in Heaven’s economy.
- How to stay faithful and grounded while you wait — practical spiritual rhythms that keep your peace when your timeline doesn’t make sense.
Justin unpacks the spiritual tension between God’s promise and our impatience, showing that the pause isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. He reminds us that you are not late, you are being formed.
Whether you’re waiting on healing, direction, purpose, or breakthrough, this message will help you breathe again. It will teach you how to rest instead of rush, trust instead of panic, and believe again that God’s timing is still good, even when it hurts.
🎧 Listen now to rediscover how to:
• Trust His pace.
• Rest in His plan.
• Believe again in His promises.
Because God isn’t slow. He’s strategic.
