00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.460
You're stuck in the in-between.

2
00:00:03.460 --> 00:00:06.920
One chapter is ending, but the next hasn't revealed itself.

3
00:00:06.920 --> 00:00:13.920
You've prayed, journaled, begged God for clarity, but the silence is deafening.

4
00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.120
And the waiting, it's wearing you down.

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.620
Here's what no one tells you.

6
00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:20.660
Waiting is where faith is formed.

7
00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:22.300
We want clear signs.

8
00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:24.740
We want step-by-step instructions.

9
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:28.100
But often God doesn't give direction until we take a step.

10
00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.240
He doesn't map out the whole path.

11
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:33.300
He asks us to trust with the next step.

12
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:36.360
He asks us to trust with the next one.

13
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:39.640
If it feels uncertain, that doesn't mean you're off course.

14
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:45.480
It might mean you're exactly where He wants you, learning to walk by faith, not sight.

15
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:48.600
So ask yourself these three questions.

16
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.280
What's still in my control right now?

17
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.360
What small act of obedience can I take today?

18
00:00:56.360 --> 00:01:02.200
And what would I do if I trusted that God was guiding me, even in the silence?

19
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:03.200
Clarity will come.

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.120
But in the meantime, don't waste the waiting.

21
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.560
Let it soften you.

22
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.240
Let it deepen your trust.

23
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.220
Let it prepare your heart for what's next.

24
00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:16.560
Because when the next step does appear, you'll be ready.

25
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.240
God hasn't forgotten you.

26
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:19.640
You're not behind.

27
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.060
You're not stuck.

28
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:24.120
You're just being readied for the next assignment.

29
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.480
This season may be quiet, but it's not wasted.

30
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.720
He's working in the unseen.

31
00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:33.560
And the door you're waiting on, it will open when it's time.

32
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.480
Your only job right now?

33
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.320
Stay faithful in the pause.
