By: Sarah Geringer

I'm in a season of waiting, and you may be in a similar season. Many people I know are in a season of waiting or just coming out of one.



Yesterday I started saying scripture-based affirmations for waiting. I don't want my heart to get sick with deferred hope while I'm waiting. So I decided to speak God's truth over my doubts, fears, and temptations when they arise.



These are the 8 scripture-based affirmations for waiting I'm using, and you can use them too. Simply speak them out loud when you get impatient, frustrated, or discouraged by your wait. Then turn them into a prayer, affirming your faith in God while you wait
