"Wait for the Lord. Wait with hope. Hope now. Hope always."
Psalm 131:3

What do you do when you're waiting on God and nothing seems to be happening?

In today's episode of Everyday Joy, Ash and Mahala unpack one of the shortest yet most profound verses in Scripture and explore what it means to wait on God with hope.

Together, they reflect on the bigger context of Psalm 131, where David makes a powerful declaration:

"I do not concern myself with matters too great or too wonderful for me."

In a world filled with uncertainty, bad news, unanswered questions, and endless information, it's easy to become consumed by things we cannot control. Yet David paints a completely different picture. Instead of striving, worrying, and searching for answers to everything, he describes a soul that has been quieted, calmed, and surrendered to God.

Mahala shares a personal story about praying faithfully for an entire year through uncertainty, while Ash reflects on the challenge of trusting God when we desperately want answers, timelines, and guarantees.

This conversation is a reminder that faith isn't knowing exactly how everything will work out.

Faith is trusting the God who does.

If you've been carrying questions, waiting for breakthrough, wrestling with uncertainty, or struggling to trust God's timing, this episode will encourage you to surrender what you cannot control and place your hope in the One who never changes.

Because sometimes the greatest act of faith isn't moving forward.

It's waiting well.
