Trusting God in the Waiting: When You’re Doing All You Can and Still Standing

As 2026 approaches, just a few days away, I find myself in a season of waiting. A place I didn’t plan to be in, but one I’m learning to walk through with faith. I don’t have a job right now. Some people don’t know the full backstory, but I was let go from my job on October 17 of this year. Since October, I’ve been navigating uncertainty, figuring things out one day at a time, and trusting God through a process I never expected.

I’ve applied for jobs. I’ve updated my resume. I’ve searched high and low, sending applications everywhere I could. But this season has been slow, and the silence has been loud. No callbacks. No emails. No clear direction yet. And if I’m being honest, it’s been rough.

I’m not going to pretend this is easy.

There are moments where it feels heavy, where I’m just holding my head above water, trying to figure out how everything is going to work out. Bills still exist. Responsibilities don’t pause. Life keeps moving even when answers feel delayed. There are days when I realize there’s nothing else I can do but surrender.

Yet even in this, I’m choosing to remain faithful. I’m choosing peace. I’m choosing to stay calm in the middle of the storm. Not because I have all the answers, but because I serve a God who does. A God who sits high and looks low. A God who sees what I cannot see and knows what I do not know.

Scripture reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). This season has taught me that I cannot fix everything. I cannot control the timing. I cannot force doors to open. All I can do is trust God through the process.

That trust doesn’t mean the days are perfect. It doesn’t mean fear never tries to creep in. It doesn’t mean I don’t have moments where I feel tired or uncertain. It means that even when things feel shaky, I am anchored. It means reminding myself daily that God is still good, even when life feels hard.

If you’re reading this and you’re in a tough season, I want you to know you’re not alone. You may be doing everything you know how to do and still waiting. Still praying. Still believing. Still hoping. Still trusting. And that doesn’t make you weak. That makes you faithful.

The Bible tells us, “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” (Philippians 1:6). What God started, He will finish. What feels delayed is not denied. What feels heavy is not permanent.

This season will not last forever. This moment will pass. This chapter is not the end of your story.

I don’t know exactly how everything will work out yet, but I know who I trust. And that is enough.
