You keep waiting, but it feels like nothing is happening.
Waiting seasons can be difficult. The longer it takes, the easier it is to feel frustrated, discouraged, and unsure if it’s still worth trusting God. In the silence, hope can start to fade. You start to wonder, “Is it worth it to wait and trust God?”
The story of Jacqueline De Silva and her husband will encourage you to trust and wait on God even in the middle of uncertainty.
Jacqueline and Dennis got married in 2009. But they struggled to have a child and discovered that she had Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), making it difficult for her to conceive.
“We felt frustrated and afraid of possibly not having a baby,” Jacqueline recalled.
For Jacqueline, the news was heartbreaking. Their situation tested their faith.
Yet despite unanswered prayers and moments when God seemed silent, they did not lose hope. They chose to believe, trust, and wait on Him.
With The 700 Club Asia as their prayer partner, Jacqueline felt led to give to the ministry. Despite what they were going through, she stepped out in faith, obeyed God, and chose to be a blessing to others.
God honored their faith, obedience, and commitment. Finally, they were blessed with their first child. Dennis also received a job promotion and the Lord also provided them with a condominium unit.
Later on, they were blessed with a second child.
“God is unpredictable yet truly reliable. There are times when it feels like He is not answering, but just in the nick of time, He moves in His own ways. In ways that leave you truly amazed,” Jacqueline shared.
Like Jacqueline and Dennis, you may be praying for a child, or going through other circumstances where your faith, patience, and trust is being tested. May their journey remind you that waiting and trusting in God is worth it.
God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence. He listens, He is always present, and at work. Even when nothing seems to be happening, continue to trust Him, and be in awe of how He faithfully and beautifully unfolds His plans.
In seasons of uncertainty, you can choose to trust God because He is faithful and reliable.
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23, NIV)
