Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:14
Waiting is hard, really hard. Especially when you feel so close to finally receiving what you’ve been waiting so long for. One second it’s within your grasp, the next it’s like it was never there to begin with.
It’s hard to be strong and have courage in waiting seasons. This verse makes it seem so simple and easy, right? I think the beauty in this verse though is it doesn’t tell us to find the strength and courage on our own, but rather through God.
God is our strength, He is our courage in our seasons of waiting. He is our hope, our peace, our joy as we wait. We are to go to Him to be filled with everything we need as we wait on Him.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:13
There is a beautiful promise in this waiting season, my friend. And we are encouraged to not only hold on to hope but to also be overflowed with hope. We can be hopeful that either we are going to receive what we’ve been waiting for, or receive something even better than that. Sometimes we need to let go of what we thought was so good to receive something even better – and that takes strength and courage.
Let God fill you with joy and peace. Trust in Him and receive what He has for you in His timing. And have the strength and courage to let go as you wait to receive what God has to give you.
Wait for the Lord as He prepares you for the right time to receive the good thing He has for you. There you can find hope, joy, peace, strength, and courage.

Chloee Jean is a youth leader, a Podcaster, a Digital Creator, Worship Leader, Social Media Manager, and a firm believer in Christ. She was born and raised in a Christian home and spent her days as a little girl singing songs, playing around on the piano, and drawing with her crayons. After years of hardships and trials, Chloee found escape in her music and writing her own lyrics. She pursued a Worship Leader certificate at Bethel Music’s Worship School. When she completed her course, she led worship with her sister, Aliseea, at a small youth group they were both currently serving in. After they both stepped down from that role and during 2020’s pandemic, Chloee started her own podcast called W.O.W and small business, Simply by Chloee Jean. She now finds joy in speaking God’s Word, singing about it occasionally with her sister, and creating digital designs to point others back to God and His Word. When Chloee isn’t designing or podcasting, she spends quality time with her family by having game nights, a movie marathon, or even jamming out to some worship songs.
