What to do while waiting – many are in this place.

Encouraging others while waiting makes faith grow stronger. Waiting demonstrates love and it frustrates the plan of the enemy.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Hosea 10:12 (KJV)

I see My children growing as they believe and wait. Be determined as a female trying to fit into a pair of tight jeans. She rolls, squirms, and refuses defeat.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matthew 17:20 (KJV)

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Ephesians 4:13-15 (KJV)

A woman in distress is a sight to see as she exhibits the faith and strength of an ant. Picture an ant carrying a piece of bread so big that his body is not seen.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

There exists a power in the ant underneath that bread that propels destiny. The ant takes that bread to his colony to share with others. In this way, many others are encouraged.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8 (KJV)

Waiting for an answer or promise may seem long. But your waiting is the answer to another persons prayer.

The adoption of faith is a powerful thing daughter. People are praying to have what you have. While you wait, people are seeing faith in action. Child of Mine – people are praying to have more faith. As they see you, they see faith in action.

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 2 Timothy 1:5 (KJV)

The next times you experience tiredness in the wait – remember that you are carrying a piece of bread to feed an entire colony. Continue to encourage others as you wait.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
