I’m tired

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I’m tired of waiting on God’s timing. What must I do in the wait? Is there anything I can do to accelerate the process? I need a breakthrough. It’s been ### years. I’m thinking of checking horoscopes etc just to feel something. Is it normal to feel idle? Lost? Alone? What are you sensing for this time of my life?
 
We hear the weariness in your heart, and we want you to know that your feelings of impatience, loneliness, and even the temptation to seek answers outside of God’s Word are not uncommon. But we must gently yet firmly rebuke the thought of turning to horoscopes or any form of divination. Scripture is clear: *"There shall not be found with you anyone who... practices divination, tells fortunes, interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord"* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB). These practices open doors to deception and lead you away from the true source of hope—our Lord Jesus Christ.

You ask what you must do in the wait, and whether there is anything to accelerate the process. The truth is, God’s timing is perfect, even when it feels unbearably slow. But the wait is not meant to be idle—it is meant to be active in faith, trust, and obedience. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord"* (Psalm 27:14 WEB). This is not passive waiting; it is waiting with expectation, with prayer, with worship, and with a heart that continues to seek Him even when answers don’t come quickly.

We sense that this season is refining you, preparing you for something greater than you can imagine. The breakthrough you long for may not look the way you expect, but God is working even in the silence. *"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts"* (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). Your job is not to force the breakthrough but to remain faithful in the small, daily acts of trust.

If you have not already, we must ask: Have you surrendered your life fully to Jesus Christ? Is He the Lord of your life, or are you still trying to navigate this journey on your own strength? There is no true peace, no lasting hope, and no real breakthrough outside of Him. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'"* (John 14:6 WEB). If you have not placed your faith in Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is weary in the wait. Lord, we ask that You would strengthen their heart and renew their hope. Help them to trust in Your perfect timing, even when it feels impossible. Forgive them for any moment of doubt or temptation to seek answers outside of You. Remind them that You are near, that You see their struggle, and that You are working all things together for their good.

Father, we pray against the spirit of idleness and loneliness. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Surround them with Your presence and with godly community that will encourage and uplift them. Teach them to wait actively—to pray, to worship, to serve, and to grow in their relationship with You. Let this season of waiting produce patience, character, and hope in them, as Your Word promises.

Lord, if there is any area of their life that is not surrendered to You, reveal it to them. Draw them closer to You and let them experience the fullness of Your love. We declare that their breakthrough is coming, and when it does, may it bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises. Keep your eyes on Him, not on the clock. Spend time in His Word daily, even if it’s just a few verses. Join a Bible-believing church if you haven’t already, and surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and for you. This season is not wasted—God is using it to shape you into the person He has called you to be. *"But those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint"* (Isaiah 40:31 WEB). Your breakthrough is coming. Keep trusting. Keep waiting. Keep believing.
 
Oh dear friend, we hear you loud and clear. We've all been there, feeling tired, restless, and alone in the waiting. It's like we're in a holding pattern, and it's easy to feel like God's taken a break from His job as our Air Traffic Controller. But remember, even in the silence, He's guiding us. He's not on break; He's on a mission to shape us into something beautiful.

We know it's tough, feeling like you've been on hold for years. But let's not forget, God's not a 9-5 God. He's not bound by our time, but we are bound by His. And His timing is always perfect, even when it feels like He's running on slow motion.

You're asking what you can do in the wait. Well, how about we make a deal? Let's not try to accelerate the process, but let's make the most of it. Let's use this time to dig deeper into God's Word, to pray like we've never prayed before, to worship like nothing else matters, and to love like Jesus loves us.

And listen, it's okay to feel tired, it's okay to feel alone. God's not surprised by your feelings. He's there, right in the middle of them, waiting for you to turn to Him. So, let's turn to Him. Let's pour out our hearts to Him, even if it's just a cry for help.

As for checking horoscopes, let's leave that to the side. God's given us His Word, and that's more than enough. It's like having a personal GPS from the Creator of the universe. Why settle for a map drawn by someone who's never even seen the destination?

We sense that God's got something amazing in store for you. This season of waiting is preparing you for it. So, let's trust Him, even when we can't see what's ahead. Let's be faithful in the small things, knowing that God sees and rewards our faithfulness.

And hey, if you haven't already, let's make sure we've given our lives fully to Jesus. He's not just a good idea; He's the only way. So, let's surrender all, and let's watch as He works miracles in our lives.

Now, let's pray. Heavenly Father, we come to You today, feeling the weariness of our friend. Lord, we ask for strength. We ask for hope. We ask for faith to trust in Your perfect timing. We ask for forgiveness for any moment of doubt or temptation. We ask for Your presence, Your peace, and Your love to fill them up. And Lord, we ask for a breakthrough. We declare that it's coming, and when it does, may it bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong, dear friend. Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the clock. Your breakthrough is coming. Keep trusting. Keep waiting. Keep believing. You're not alone. We're in this together.

God, I am tired of waiting. I am tired of crying and being strong all the time. If You are there, then show me. Stop testing me again and again. Either change my situation or change my heart — but do something. I can’t pretend to be okay anymore.

I am extremely tired of hearing to say, “aww, I got you, I promise you, I love you, I miss you, I'm sorry!” all the time. It's annoying me so much. It makes me feel like turning myself off while the person is saying to me. What makes the person have to learn a lesson after saying that?
