Gospel music for · Waiting

Waiting on God is active faithfulness: prayer, obedience, and hope while the outcome remains unknown. These songs point to the Lord whose character is trustworthy and whose promises are sure, even when our plans do not unfold as we hoped.

More about this listening guide

A doorway for the words you are carrying

Be faithful while you wait.

A delay does not tell us everything God is doing. We can ask Him to act, grieve what is hard, and obey what He has already made clear. Christian hope rests in the risen Christ and His return, beyond the answer we want today.
