And that already requires far more maturity than many people imagine. Because it is easy to trust when everything responds quickly. What is difficult is remaining whole when time passes, the answer does not come at the speed you wanted, and the heart begins to bargain with anxiety.
In those hours, do not feed despair. Do not try to solve by impulse what can only mature in the right time. There are processes in which the Lord is not punishing you, nor ignoring you. He is teaching you not to depend on signs all the time in order to remain steadfast.
Learn to protect what is still burning within you. Not every dark season means the end. Sometimes, it is precisely there that God teaches you constancy, sobriety, and patience. The problem for many people is not a lack of faith. It is a lack of perseverance.
Remain before God with sincerity. Without performance, without haste, without demanding shortcuts. The one who learns to wait with a guarded heart comes out stronger than when he entered.
“I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me and heard my cry.”
Psalm 40:1
