So, this didn’t help me in waiting but it DID help in other areas. I prayed for a while for a godly husband. I’m almost at our 3rd year anniversary. I prayed for a baby. I have a 10 months old now. It’s been a difficult week. He’s teething and I’m finding every reason to complain. You reminded me that this is what I prayed for. I’m living in an answered prayer. Thanks. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.
This reminds me of a praise and worship day my dad spearheaded way back in 1975.” From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is to be praised.” Praise is so powerful and can get you through all waiting.
God is really working his magic having you guys upload this today. I went through a weird breakup back in January after we had been together for a little over a year. Of course it was hard at first but I was really able to find God during that time and became the happiest I've been in a while. Now the last week or so my head has been really idolizing being in a relationship and it's hard not knowing when God will send that perfect guy my way. I teared up when Tori was talking about not lowering your worth and standards to compromise for something you want now, rather than waiting for God's timing and knowing what your worth is. I've really realized this week how my ex loved me, but he didn't love me in the way or to the extent that I loved him, and I also got teary when Chad was talking about not lowering your standards for something or someone you don't deserve. It still feels a bit strange months later not having a best friend and someone to love all in one, but I need to realize that God's doing this for a reason and I need it. Thank you for reminding me to trust in him that he will work everything out in the timing that he intends.
Going through something similar right now. It’s especially tough around the holidays, but I know it’ll be worth waiting for a godly wife who shares the same values and beliefs.
I read this quote the other day in a YouVersion devotional: Good things require intense preparation, for it is during the preparation period that you will know if what you’re preparing for is truly worth it. The waiting period can seem like an intense or super long period of time. Make sure you use this waiting time to prepare for the great things God has in store for you!
God is never late with His time so trusting Him is the best decision you can make. Trust the process and journey, thank you for this video it’s definitely encouraging❤️☺️
Remember folks , before God blesses us , he prepares us for it ! Spritually and physically ! Our blessing is in Beta ! The wait is a test . The test is to like create space in your life or the making of the room to recieve . When that blessing comes , it's going to be sooo much bigger than we thought..it's going to be boat sinking blessings as mentioned in Luke 5 .
I love your authenticity on TH-cam! I had to think about this, a friend of a friend was trying for a few years and she was in the middle of building a house, and she was so down because she didn’t have a baby (she’s not a Christian) and we were praying for her, and God gave her the perfect timing and the house is just finished and she became pregnant! I believe God will give y’all the perfect timing! Your babies are gonna have such a lovely house + so much love around them! Thanks for the encouraging video. Today is the day that the Lord has made🙌🏻
Tori and Chad, thank you for this! I admire how you are talking on this topic while you are currently in a season of waiting. It's one thing to talk about it after you've been in that season and you've come out of the waiting season, but the fact that you are preaching on this WHILE you are in this season makes it 10x more powerful since you are feeling the challenges but also finding the joy in it. Love you guys!
I have a prayer request I texted Tori too a few days ago and I'm sorry if I am asking again but a little prayer could really work. The situation in India is bad really and my grandmother needs an oxgyen cylinder. Its been two days and we haven't been able to get it. I would be grateful if you could pray for her Thank you ❤️ And I loved this video. You two have so much wisdom ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I needed this! Thank you! Waiting can be so hard but the reminder to “Tend to your OWN flock” was much needed. God knows what he is doing. The promises that hasn’t come yet is God’s business. I need to mind my own business and be grateful for the promises he has already brought to fruition. 🙏🏾
Yes, God is good and His plans are perfect! We definitely need to cherish the answers to prayers that are in our life right now while we are waiting for the blessings that God has for us in our future.
"You're in the middle of a promise now" ~ Tori Thank you, I needed that. God has provided for everything around us at the moment so of course He will continue to provide for us for the rest of our lives. 'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.' Psalm 23:6
Everything you both said in this video was so impactful to me in my waiting for my person. I’ve been divorced for over 15 years, raised my two daughters and I want to share my life with someone. I feel like my life is passing me by. I make sure I don’t sit idle at home but I’m tired of doing things by myself. I ended a 4 year friendship with a man that was mainly lust of the flesh. The temptation is always on my mind because I just need to feel close to someone and feel like a desirable woman. I grew up Catholic but only accepted Christ a few years ago. Thank you for your words of encouragement and the honest dialogue! Melissa
This came at perfect time. I had posted on a status that I do not feel like praying or reading the bible and this video just showed me that the reason why I feel discouraged to pray is that I have been waiting on God for different things from God and it seems He is slacking, because of that internally I am worried(anxious) and a little depressed not even aware why I feel in this way. I will wait on God and continue to seek on Him diligently 😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽may God bless you so much
Wow this is good! “Trust that He won’t let you down.” 🤍 I was gently convicted yesterday about my view of God’s promises. I personally think veggie burgers would taste a whole lot better if they didn’t have the word “burger” in the name, because burger leaves me expecting a big, juicy meat patty, and that is definitely not what veggie burgers are. It’s the same way with the promises of God. God’s promises are big and juicy, and everything I need. But when I attach qualifiers and expectations to what I want them to look like, they become a whole lot more like veggie promises, and they don’t taste nearly as good. But when we take one little bite of who God actually is, we taste and see that the Lord is good, and the aftertaste of the real promises is full of hope. Sorry for this being so lengthy guys! Thanks for the encouragement this morning. ♥️♥️♥️
I’d never heard of the song “Wait on You” before, but right after I watched this video (I watched it 3x actually!) my friend randomly sent me that song. I was like “Yes God! I hear you!”
I feel like ever since I finished highschool I've been in a season of waiting. First for a job, then going to bible school. Started dating my bf (yay!) but now I'm in a season of waiting for engagement and marriage. Instead of just lying around being lazy, I'm turning into intentional preparation time! God's brought me so much joy and excitement in this season of waiting!
It’s so beautiful watching this video now that you guys have two boys. It hits so much harder seeing how raw you guys were feeling and knowing God had so much planned to happen in a short time. ❤😊
God has been convicting me HARD on patience, & this video is perfect timing. Thank you for sharing your life & allowing God to use y’all as vessels to bless others. And Tori, PREACH! Your conviction on allowing answered prayers to become burdens is convicting ME! 🙌🙏💕
I have been listening to “Wait on You” by Maverick City Music all the time lately! It really makes a difference to worship while I wait. This video is so timely 💕🙏🏻 Always love your videos!
Literary got 3 minutes into the video last night and had to just stop and journal & have prayer time because Tori just said something really encouraging stuff!! THANK YOU! Now I’m going to watch the rest of the video... 😂
I say that verse to myself every morning! Before I do anything I try to thank God and just remind myself to rejoice and be glad in this new day He has made!! 💛 just now watching this video which is not like me with your guys’ videos because I usually watch ASAP. But let me tell you now I see it’s in His timing! These are words I need to hear in this moment! Thank you guys!! Love you 🥰
I love how Chad mentioned about living in the present too. I learned recently that if we spend too much time in the past or the future (in an unhealthy way) then the enemy can also win in that way. When we LIVE in the present we find so much joy in the little things!! So good y’all!!
“Enjoy the promises that are in your life right now” - wow, so powerful! Contentment is in the present and the current promise that you’re living in. Such amazing wisdom from you both!
Thank y'all so much for this video! I really needed to hear that today. I'm defiantly in a season of waiting right now. Thank you so much for the encouragement! Y'all always bring an awesome word. So many Tori and Chad quotes I gotta go write down. lol. Saying a prayer that everyone here can be joyful in their waiting today
guys, ive been struggling so much lately. i havent gone to church other than on easter for 2 months, i havent read my bible, i've been so pessimistic and feel like God just isn't here. i need prayers 😢 i used to watch y'all's videos every tuesday and thursday but haven't in forever bc my relationship with God has been so off
Hahaha okay I'm just thinking and I'm actually waiting on so many things but it does not feel like waiting because I'm not like sitting here waiting but just living life with Jesus and enjoying where I'm at rn, basically the tips y'all gave 😂
Thank you guys. This really spoke to me. Tory thank you also for saying we pray for a job so long and when God provides it, we get stressed in the job - WOW - that's me. Thank you God for this job that you promised me. I have also been praying for a husband for a long time. I will let God bring my husband to me. I will be active as God prepares me to be the wife of my loving husband. I know God will bless you both with beautiful children too. Love you both.
God Bless you guys! You’ve really touched my soul. You don’t know how much I needed this wisdom. I’ve been stuck in the future, feeling pressure to hurry and make something of my life, so much that I’ve wasted so many good moments in the present. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge💖 I don’t think you know how many lives you help God reach. God Bless you and your future babies 🤗
Thank you I been waiting to walk again due to a broken foot but I have had more time to study while I have been down I need to be grateful for the time I have now
"missing the chances to being a blessing to others" "we're not waiting for God, He is waiting for us" didn't realize but it's so true! "we aren't promised tomorrow" "we're in the promise" already wow so good
Provision into a burden....that's soooo rightttt!!! Preach it Toriii...!!! David is such a good example...Wow Chad...I'm honest...I'm right in the period of waiting and sure needed help to stay at pace and this video is so encouraging...I loved the video, you guys....Love you both❤️ And Tori that a little beautiful singing right there...I wanna hear you sing Toriiiiiiiii❤️❤️❤️❤️
SO POWERFUL!!! I was like whattttttt. Lol did you see my reactions?!?! and we love you, Joslyn! So sweet of you to be here with us! ANd I need to get Tori to start singing more!
@@ToriAndChad Yeaaa ikr !!! I saw your reaction...That was emotional...God is using you guys in my life and I'm grateful ❤❤ And yea Tori is gotta sing ❤❤
I cannot tell you how timely this video and upload time was for me. (Proof that the Lord’s timing is perfect and He sees me in this struggle and waiting.) I’m currently in the waiting for the same thing you guys are waiting on and discovered this morning that this is yet again, not our month. I was beginning to allow the enemy to reign in my thoughts and even accepting this feeling of depression over me but this video encouraged me so much with so many things other than just this current waiting season. Ive been feeling so drained and complacent with work and boy did I get convicted about that. Thank you Lord for your provision there. 🙌🏼🙏🏼 You guys are so amazing! Thank you for your Godly influence! Praying for you guys in this season as well! ♥️🙏🏼
Speaking of waiting…. I was actually thinking earlier today what video I should share this and I came to this one which is perfect. I wanted to share a book that was super beneficial to me and several of my friends. It is called God has a Waiting Room by Kim Haney. Anything by this author is awesome as well. But it teaches what to do while we are waiting for Gods timing.
This video is so timely for me that I got half way through and had to stop, pull it back and pull out my notebook. I feel like I’ve been in a season of waiting and this morning I was so frustrated and tired of the wait that I was upset. This video made me check my heart real quick because I was focusing on the “thing” I’ve been waiting for and not the supplier of it which is God. Thanks for this video because it made me self evaluate ❤️
My husband and I are going through the same thing as you, waiting for a precious baby❤ We have had 2 miscarriage in the past year and it's been very hard at times. Thank you for the advice!
yes!! trusting the process is so difficult sometimes but something that i always say is “this is happening for a reason” if you loose your keys, maybe God is keeping you from getting in an accident, etc. Gods will be done and not mine!
It's not about waiting for a specific thing to happen, it's about preparing to receive it. Guard your heart, keep your head up and trust god. Lots of love from Switzerland.
WOW. So many parts of this video I NEEDED to hear and just jumped out at me. I had to watch it three times and will still probably come back to it again. God has really used this to speak to me and confirm some doubts I had and clear up some misconceptions. Especially the part near the end that Chad said about how he didn't do anything because he didn't want to choose wrong but then when he decided to move God opened the door that was meant to be opened!!! That is amazing and a perspective I don't think I've heard before. I thank you two for sharing! x
Chad I have the same experience! I didn’t get into my number one school that I had the grades for but there I met my friends who led me to the Lord! 🙌🏼 praise God
Somehow you two always seem to hit precisely on something I've been working on/struggling with in your chats, even if it's not the actual subject you're addressing in any specific video. However, the subject of this video was exactly what I was thinking about this last couple of weeks (actually, for years, on and off), so thank you for addressing it today!
Is anyone else super blessed every time they watch one of the Master's videos? Like I legit cry sometimes while watching their videos, but also laugh a lot too. Also, I like the video before I watch it because the Masters never have bad videos :)
I think everyone is waiting on something. Hope deferred makes the heart sick and I have really felt the weight of the wait recently. I have been to a very dark place but I thank God that the cloud is lifting. I was reading earlier today and this sentence stuck out for me "God cares." When nothing seems to make sense, He still cares; when we are tempted to give up on Him, He cares; when we are hard pressed on every side or even pressed down, He still cares seeing that we are not destroyed. His comfort begins with His identity yáll; He is faithful as a son in God's kingdom and He will be faithful to carry us through our seasons of waiting. I pray that we all would find joy in our season of waiting.
Wow I am shook. I so needed this! The guy I thought I'd marry just got engaged to someone else (I'm still learning how to hear God about relationship stuff) ... moving on and trusting in God's timing ah painful and confusing. Thankful for you guys! I have a lot to learn!
You guys are full of wisdom from the Lord, thank you so much for sharing this. I am waiting but in the waiting i need to see what the Lord wants me to do in my life and other´s, not just stay quit without doing anything. I need to see how can i serve him NOW, in the waiting, to prepare myself for the future.
Wow wow...definitely needed to hear that. Graduating college in May and still waiting to hear back from a job...praying that the Lord would be the lamp for my feet and steer the ship. He's SO good, praying that I would be present now in praising Him, even as I wait on the unknowns of the future. Love y'all, SO incredibly thankful for your encouragement!! God's using it to strengthen my faith in Him so much, he's just SO good!
Woah... Thank you so much Chad for sharing that about your “dark place” where you were waiting for God to reveal your “future” to you! I just went through something really similar (also very dark) and God did the EXACT same thing. He finally told me to “take a step of faith” (through a prophetic word from someone else) and draw near to Him and He would draw near to me. He never told me what to do, but once I took steps of faith, He guided those steps. Crazy! Our God is amazing.
Love the subject you chose for this video! 💛 Thank you for your advice and encouragement!!! Taking notes I should have literally write down every single word you said!
Thankyou for your wisdom and expression of a message that you’ve got from God that he is actually speaking over you right now, and us as viewers too. Thankyou, this really challenged me and helped me to have perspective and purpose in my season of waiting.
It is the simplest sentence "Trust in God's timing" and at the same time the absolutely MOST challenging sentence! To reach this point: “Lord I trust you 100% and I place my worries at your feet, at your altar, without ever making room for them in my heart again”... Wow. That needs God’s strength! 🤍 Thank you for all this wonderful and practical encouragement!
This was so helpful! Thank you. This morning I’m my quiet time, God gave me the word joy and I didn’t really know what to do with that but I am so grateful he did because when I saw JOY in all caps, I had to click on this video and hear what you had to say. This is honestly exactly what I needed to hear right now and it has really encouraged me to be present with God and enjoy this time of waiting. Thank you!
Thank you for this video!! This video speaks VOLUMES for the season that I am in right now! I am also in a season of waiting to be with my husband soon. We have been apart for 4 months (he is in the military) and during this time-I have been leaning heavily on the Lord and He has been working on me, molding me for the when the time is right! God has the perfect timing! Thank you for this video-spoke to my core ❤️
If you're waiting on something give this video a like! haha *gets 4 likes*
Hahaha pretty sure everyone is waiting on something
@@angelavanoosten1 I agree🙈
Well then everyone better like this video haha
LOVE SEEING YOUR NAME POP UP, ANDREEA!

I love it when my favorite youtubers love each other
amen!!
“David was not self-anointing or self-appointing himself to a place the God hasn’t yet called him” 🔥 🔥 🔥
Because God is the author of time, the one who made time, then His timing is ALWAYS perfect!
EXACTLY!!!! Also thanks for your input on the bible study yesterday! Was so good to see and hear you in there!
I'm about to get this comment tattooed on my arm or something! Lol soooooo good. Great reminder 🔥

Reminds me of Isaiah 26:3...
“You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.”

“It’s really easy to turn our answered prayers into burdens”. So true, preach! We have to remember to be grateful even in the waiting 🔥🔥❤️
yeah that one hit hard! hahaha
So, this didn’t help me in waiting but it DID help in other areas. I prayed for a while for a godly husband. I’m almost at our 3rd year anniversary. I prayed for a baby. I have a 10 months old now.

I went through the exact same thing this past January, really wild seeing this comment it hit home. Praying for you 🤍
Going through something similar right now. It’s especially tough around the holidays, but I know it’ll be worth waiting for a godly wife who shares the same values and beliefs.
Oh man, Tori's point about just being grateful to be already in an answered prayer is such a mindset shift 🙏 Great perspective!
I read this quote the other day in a YouVersion devotional: Good things require intense preparation, for it is during the preparation period that you will know if what you’re preparing for is truly worth it.

Annnnd “Focus on what God is doing inside of the trial and remember it’s not all about us.” 🔥
Don't apologize! We are thankful you took the time to bless us! That is a great analogy!!!
Yes!! you're so right.. it's not just about us!
Elevation Worship x Maverick City Music-Wait on You is the perfect song if anyone’s looking for music to get them through their season of waiting
I’d never heard of the song “Wait on You” before, but right after I watched this video (I watched it 3x actually!) my friend randomly sent me that song. I was like “Yes God! I hear you!”
The algorithm went straight to this video and started playing after another video I watched... and holy cow, I needed to hear that tonight!
Happy Mothers Day to a Spiritual Mother of many!!! *hearts* Love you two so much!!!

Aww that you for saying all of that, Lindsay! That means a lot... And thank you for praying for everyone! that is so special!
All I can say is WOW. Everything ya'll said hit hard and hit home. Thank you for this video that I am sure we all needed!
Dang we are here for it!!!
guys, ive been struggling so much lately. i havent gone to church other than on easter for 2 months, i havent read my bible, i've been so pessimistic and feel like God just isn't here. i need prayers 😢 i used to watch y'all's videos every tuesday and thursday but haven't in forever bc my relationship with God has been so off
Prayed for you🙏✝️
@@emilysneller2413 tysm!
@@harleighstringer Where are you from if i may ask?
I'm def taking notes eventhough I'm not really waiting 🙋🏼♀️
We're you waiting or me to reply to this comment?? lol
@@ToriAndChad hahahaha no 😂
Hahaha okay I'm just thinking and I'm actually waiting on so many things but it does not feel like waiting because I'm not like sitting here waiting but just living life with Jesus and enjoying where I'm at rn, basically the tips y'all gave 😂
Thank you guys. This really spoke to me. Tory thank you also for saying we pray for a job so long and when God provides it, we get stressed in the job - WOW - that's me. Thank you God for this job that you promised me. I have also been praying for a husband for a long time. I will let God bring my husband to me. I will be active as God prepares me to be the wife of my loving husband. I know God will bless you both with beautiful children too. Love you both.
I just had to come back and watch this video again...it's soooo so good!!!
God Bless you guys! You’ve really touched my soul. You don’t know how much I needed this wisdom. I’ve been stuck in the future, feeling pressure to hurry and make something of my life, so much that I’ve wasted so many good moments in the present. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge💖 I don’t think you know how many lives you help God reach. God Bless you and your future babies 🤗
watching this video now as im in a waiting season in SO MANY areas of my life. definitely needed this video
Thank you I been waiting to walk again due to a broken foot but I have had more time to study while I have been down I need to be grateful for the time I have now
Aww that is still difficult to go through but love that you want to try to be more grateful for where you currently are!
"missing the chances to being a blessing to others" "we're not waiting for God, He is waiting for us" didn't realize but it's so true! "we aren't promised tomorrow" "we're in the promise" already wow so good
You guys are a blessing being used of God.
Provision into a burden....that's soooo rightttt!!! Preach it Toriii...!!!
David is such a good example...Wow Chad...I'm honest...I'm right in the period of waiting and sure needed help to stay at pace and this video is so encouraging...I loved the video, you guys....Love you both❤️
And Tori that a little beautiful singing right there...I wanna hear you sing Toriiiiiiiii❤️❤️❤️❤️
SO POWERFUL!!! I was like whattttttt. Lol did you see my reactions?!?! and we love you, Joslyn! So sweet of you to be here with us! ANd I need to get Tori to start singing more!
@@ToriAndChad Yeaaa ikr !!!
I saw your reaction...That was emotional...God is using you guys in my life and I'm grateful ❤❤ And yea Tori is gotta sing ❤❤
I cannot tell you how timely this video and upload time was for me. (Proof that the Lord’s timing is perfect and He sees me in this struggle and waiting.) I’m currently in the waiting for the same thing you guys are waiting on and discovered this morning that this is yet again, not our month. I was beginning to allow the enemy to reign in my thoughts and even accepting this feeling of depression over me but this video encouraged me so much with so many things other than just this current waiting season. Ive been feeling so drained and complacent with work and boy did I get convicted about that. Thank you Lord for your provision there. 🙌🏼🙏🏼 You guys are so amazing! Thank you for your Godly influence! Praying for you guys in this season as well! ♥️🙏🏼
Aww that is so powerful!! Thanks for sharing that with us!! Glad to know we are not waiting alone... We are praying for yall, Nicole!
12:32 "Prepare yourself for what God is preparing for you" 🔥🔥 LOVE
my heart couldn't handle this today. so beautiful and so desperately needed ❤️
Happiness is dependent on situations but JOY is your strength in all situations. Thanks Tori
Unbelievable! Today I prayed about waiting for my person and then I see this! God is answering my prayer through you guys !❤
Awww yay! Perfect timing!
Speaking of waiting…. I was actually thinking earlier today what video I should share this and I came to this one which is perfect.
I wanted to share a book that was super beneficial to me and several of my friends. It is called God has a Waiting Room by Kim Haney. Anything by this author is awesome as well. But it teaches what to do while we are waiting for Gods timing.
This video is so timely for me that I got half way through and had to stop, pull it back and pull out my notebook. I feel like I’ve been in a season of waiting and this morning I was so frustrated and tired of the wait that I was upset. This video made me check my heart real quick because I was focusing on the “thing” I’ve been waiting for and not the supplier of it which is God. Thanks for this video because it made me self evaluate ❤️
Watching this now that tori is pregnant and I’m super happy for them💘💘
My husband and I are going through the same thing as you, waiting for a precious baby❤ We have had 2 miscarriage in the past year and it's been very hard at times. Thank you for the advice!
yes!! trusting the process is so difficult sometimes but something that i always say is “this is happening for a reason” if you loose your keys, maybe God is keeping you from getting in an accident, etc. Gods will be done and not mine!
Yeah that is true!
Love you guys! Man, keep getting confirmation about this all over the place! Thanks for being one of ‘em! God bless y’all! 🙌🤗🥰😁🙏🏻🦋😇🎉 love ya!
I really needed to hear this... Guess divine timing always works🤞
We definitely believe it!
This video is a POWERFUL resource!! Thank you for sharing it! Immensely encouraging and packed with truth!
How are you doing 😊😊👋👋
It's not about waiting for a specific thing to happen, it's about preparing to receive it. Guard your heart, keep your head up and trust god. Lots of love from Switzerland.
This spoke to me tremendously!!! Wow straight inspired 🙏🏾 Thank You Holy Spirit 😭❤️
WOW. So many parts of this video I NEEDED to hear and just jumped out at me. I had to watch it three times and will still probably come back to it again. God has really used this to speak to me and confirm some doubts I had and clear up some misconceptions. Especially the part near the end that Chad said about how he didn't do anything because he didn't want to choose wrong but then when he decided to move God opened the door that was meant to be opened!!! That is amazing and a perspective I don't think I've heard before. I thank you two for sharing! x
I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me better my relationship with the Lord. 🙏🏻 I’m so grateful
I love rewatching this video, so much wisdom and reminds me to be grateful for every step of the way and every step of the season of waiting !
Chad I have the same experience! I didn’t get into my number one school that I had the grades for but there I met my friends who led me to the Lord! 🙌🏼 praise God
YESSSSS Wow that is so crazy how similar that is!
@@ToriAndChad I know! When you said it I was like whaatttt!! He is so good
Somehow you two always seem to hit precisely on something I've been working on/struggling with in your chats, even if it's not the actual subject you're addressing in any specific video. However, the subject of this video was exactly what I was thinking about this last couple of weeks (actually, for years, on and off), so thank you for addressing it today!
Is anyone else super blessed every time they watch one of the Master's videos? Like I legit cry sometimes while watching their videos, but also laugh a lot too. Also, I like the video before I watch it because the Masters never have bad videos :)
I think everyone is waiting on something. Hope deferred makes the heart sick and I have really felt the weight of the wait recently. I have been to a very dark place but I thank God that the cloud is lifting.
I was reading earlier today and this sentence stuck out for me "God cares." When nothing seems to make sense, He still cares; when we are tempted to give up on Him, He cares; when we are hard pressed on every side or even pressed down, He still cares seeing that we are not destroyed.
His comfort begins with His identity yáll; He is faithful as a son in God's kingdom and He will be faithful to carry us through our seasons of waiting. I pray that we all would find joy in our season of waiting.
Wow I am shook. I so needed this! The guy I thought I'd marry just got engaged to someone else (I'm still learning how to hear God about relationship stuff) ... moving on and trusting in God's timing ah painful and confusing. Thankful for you guys! I have a lot to learn!
Praise God for the timing!
God speaks so powerfully through you both. I was in tears watching this. Thank you so much.
I am glad this was the first video, I watched this morning. It will change my attitude today for sure.
That's so true! Enjoying the now! So struggling with that!
You guys are full of wisdom from the Lord, thank you so much for sharing this. I am waiting but in the waiting i need to see what the Lord wants me to do in my life and other´s, not just stay quit without doing anything. I need to see how can i serve him NOW, in the waiting, to prepare myself for the future.
wow, I just came across this video - this is Gold 💙✨ Amen
This is so good! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Every minute of this video was worth it. It is important to prepare for the next season during ANY wait!!!
Wow wow...definitely needed to hear that. Graduating college in May and still waiting to hear back from a job...praying that the Lord would be the lamp for my feet and steer the ship. He's SO good, praying that I would be present now in praising Him, even as I wait on the unknowns of the future. Love y'all, SO incredibly thankful for your encouragement!! God's using it to strengthen my faith in Him so much, he's just SO good!
Love the door analogy at the end.
I think its worst when God already showed you your husband but you have to build a relationship with Him first. Lol your videos have been so helpful!!
Woah... Thank you so much Chad for sharing that about your “dark place” where you were waiting for God to reveal your “future” to you! I just went through something really similar (also very dark) and God did the EXACT same thing. He finally told me to “take a step of faith” (through a prophetic word from someone else) and draw near to Him and He would draw near to me. He never told me what to do, but once I took steps of faith, He guided those steps. Crazy! Our God is amazing.
Love the subject you chose for this video! 💛 Thank you for your advice and encouragement!!! Taking notes I should have literally write down every single word you said!
Thank you!!! This is so incredibly relatable, coming from someone who has also been trying for a baby for many years. Love you guys!!! 💓
Wow I absolutely needed this, this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you 🙏 and God Bless ❤️
this video is so timely 🥺 thank you tori and chad for this wonderful reminder!! #activelywaiting 💛
I FINALLY REMEMBER WHO YOU REMIND ME OF TORIIII!!!! Miraaaaagee from The Incredibles!!!!!!
Thankyou for your wisdom and expression of a message that you’ve got from God that he is actually speaking over you right now, and us as viewers too. Thankyou, this really challenged me and helped me to have perspective and purpose in my season of waiting.
Thank you Chad for sharing about your hard moments.... different situation but hard time for me right now.
It is the simplest sentence "Trust in God's timing" and at the same time the absolutely MOST challenging sentence! To reach this point: “Lord I trust you 100% and I place my worries at your feet, at your altar, without ever making room for them in my heart again”... Wow. That needs God’s strength! 🤍 Thank you for all this wonderful and practical encouragement!
This was so helpful! Thank you. This morning I’m my quiet time, God gave me the word joy and I didn’t really know what to do with that but I am so grateful he did because when I saw JOY in all caps, I had to click on this video and hear what you had to say. This is honestly exactly what I needed to hear right now and it has really encouraged me to be present with God and enjoy this time of waiting. Thank you!
Thank you for this video!! This video speaks VOLUMES for the season that I am in right now! I am also in a season of waiting to be with my husband soon. We have been apart for 4 months (he is in the military) and during this time-I have been leaning heavily on the Lord and He has been working on me, molding me for the when the time is right! God has the perfect timing! Thank you for this video-spoke to my core ❤️
