When we ask God for something, many of us expect Him to answer yes and to do so immediately. We soon understand that is not always the case. Sometimes God says no. And sometimes we have to wait for His answer, as difficult as that may be.
Christians must understand that God has a plan for their lives and that it unfolds in His time and as He has ordained. In Wait Training: Learning to Wait on God’s Perfect Timing, author Irene Lawson helps believers position themselves so they are aware of what God is doing in their lives when His answer is no. She also offers methods for learning to experience the many blessings from God as result of waiting on His perfect timing. The scriptures, prayers, poems, and lesson activities provide opportunities for Bible study, meditation, and memorization of God’s Word.
God’s Word is truth, and it emphatically expresses why He does not always answer yes. Wait Training shows that through prayer and meditation, believers can see God at work and know that regardless of circumstances, all things work out for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
“Dr. Lawson has written a great interactive study guide on waiting on God’s timing. She shares her testimony of vulnerabilities and challenges in waiting. God patiently waits for us to get quiet, grow up, and endure our season of waiting and prepares us for His glory.”
