The Most Practical Sermon Ever On Waiting For God

I hate waiting like Netflix hates you sharing your password.

But apparently, God doesn’t hate it, He uses it.

In The Most Practical Sermon on Waiting for God, Pastor Stu Hodges breaks down what to actually do while you’re stuck in life’s waiting room. This isn’t about waiting in traffic or for your dog to finish his business, it’s about waiting on healing, direction, purpose, or prayers that still feel unanswered.

Because when you’re waiting, it’s easy to scroll, stress, or spiral. But what if your waiting isn’t wasted? What if God’s using the wait to grow something in you before He gives something to you?

From the story of Habakkuk, Pastor Stu shares three painfully practical steps to help you survive the wait without losing your faith:

1️⃣ Seek the Lord – Find a place that quiets the noise and listen for God. (Habakkuk 2:1)

2️⃣ Write it down – What He shows you today could anchor you tomorrow. (Habakkuk 2:2-3)

3️⃣ Remember His faithfulness – If He’s done it before, He’ll do it again. (Habakkuk 3:18-19)

It’s not about killing time, it’s about finding strength while you wait. Because God’s delays aren’t His denials. He’s still working, even when you can’t see it.
