- Psalm 25:4-5 ESV
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long. - Psalm 27:13-14
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. - Psalm 33:20-22
We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you. - Psalm 37:7 ESV
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices! - Psalm 37:9 ESV
For the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. - Psalm 40:1-3 ESV
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord. - Psalm 62:5 ESV
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him. - Psalm 130:5-6 NIV
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning. - Isaiah 30:18 ESV
Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you,
and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him. - Isaiah 40:29-31 HCSB
He gives strength to the wearyand strengthens the powerless.
Youths may faint and grow weary,
and young men stumble and fall,
but those who trust in the Lord
will renew their strength;
they will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary;
they will walk and not faint. - Isaiah 64:4 NIV
Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. - Lamentations 3:25 ESV
The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him. - Micah 7:7 NIV
But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me. - James 5:7-8 HCSB
Therefore, brothers, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.

Found these on Pinterest, Heather. It good in the waiting to be encouraged that God is with us, even when it’s hard–or maybe more especially since it’s hard. I like “For you alone, O God, my soul waits…” Sometimes I need to be reminded that I”m waiting on God–not the object of my wait. And His timing is perfect. ~Pamela
Pamela, thank you for sharing that. I love that verse also and definitely the reminder that we should wait for Him alone—not a result or blessing or plan—-but just Him. Beautiful!! Thank you!!
Thank you for posting. God always knows when you need his words!
I’m so thankful He cares for us in this way: bringing us the exact encouragement we need at the right moment!
