Don't Let The Wait Break You

💌 A Message from the CEO,

Hey friend, I have to be honest with you. I too have wrestled with God’s timing. There have been seasons where I was praying, fasting, and doing all the things, but it still felt like nothing was moving.

What I’ve learned is that waiting doesn’t mean God has forgotten. It means He’s preparing. And if I’m real with you, those waiting seasons grew me the most. Painful, but effective. They taught me patience, humility, and how to lean on His strength when my own wasn’t enough.

That’s why I wanted to write this week’s issue (I had something completely different planned) because whether you’re waiting for your marriage to shift or waiting for love to arrive, I know firsthand how hard it is to trust God’s timing. But I promise, it’s always worth it.

With love & light,
– Nico Meyers

⏳ “I Was Convinced God Put Me on the Back Burner”

Tasha had been single so long she started RSVPing to weddings like it was a part-time job. (Her friends joked she should’ve been earning airline miles for all the bridesmaid dresses she bought.) She prayed for a Godly man for years, even tried a few dating apps — only to delete them faster than she deletes spam emails.

One night, in pure frustration, she told God:

But deep down, she didn’t want cats… she wanted covenant.

Fast forward a year. Out of nowhere, a friend invited her to a midweek Bible study. She almost said no (Netflix and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s was calling), but she went. That night, she met Marcus, the man who now prays over her every morning before she leaves for work.

🙌 The funny part? She jokes that God waited until she threatened to buy cats to finally send her a husband. But really, He was preparing them both for the right time.

Takeaway:
God doesn’t ghost His daughters. If He said it, He’s working on it, even if it looks like He’s taking the scenic route.

Verse to Meditate:
“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” – Psalm 27:14

💍 For Wives

“Waiting on God in Marriage”

Sis, you ever feel like God is taking forever to answer a prayer? Maybe you’ve been praying for your husband to finally step up in a certain area, or for your marriage to feel less like roommates and more like partners, or for your family to finally be able to purchase a home.

And yet… nothing seems to be moving. It’s frustrating. You start thinking, “Lord, how long do I have to wait?”

When wives get tangled up in the waiting, it slowly steals joy. Instead of embracing the season you’re in, you catch yourself nitpicking small things or scrolling online, wishing your marriage looked like hers. That quiet comparison turns into silent resentment.

And that’s exactly the space the enemy slips into, whispering lies like, “God overlooked you. He’s not moving in your marriage.”

Now you mad at God and yelling during your morning prayer session.

But the truth is, God’s timing is not a delay, it’s a design. If we ignore that, we risk damaging the very relationship we’re praying for by forcing things before their time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

How-to’s you can do now to stop this toxic habit:

1. Pray for preparation, not just change. Instead of praying only for God to change your husband, pray for Him to prepare you. For example: “Lord, help me love with patience and respond with kindness even when I don’t see results.” That prayer shifts your heart into alignment with His timing.

2. Practice gratitude daily. Every night, write down one thing about your husband, marriage, or even your lifestyle that you’re thankful for. Maybe the house isn’t your dream home yet, but you’ve built a space filled with love. Gratitude doesn’t erase what’s hard, but it keeps your heart from hardening.

3. Lean on scripture in the moment. When frustration rises, whether it’s over your marriage or the lifestyle goals you’re still waiting to see. Pause and declare verses like Psalm 27:14: “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” Say it out loud! Speaking truth interrupts spiraling thoughts and reminds you His timing covers every part of your life.

Don’t let waiting steal the joy of what God is already doing in your marriage and life. His timing is never late. Keep your your eyes fixed on Him.

💗 For Singles:

“God Hasn’t Forgotten Your Love Story”

I know waiting on God’s timing in singleness can feel like the looooooooongest season of your life.

You’ve prayed, you’ve prepared, you’ve even done the “focus on yourself” thing… and yet here you are… still waiting.

And sometimes it feels like everybody and they mama is moving forward, getting married, buying homes and having babies while you’re stuck in place.

When impatience creeps in, it’s tempting to lower your standards. You start entertaining relationships you know don’t honor God because at least it’s something.

But here’s the danger: the wrong timing can tie your life to the wrong person.

Proverbs 19:2 says, “Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.” Moving ahead of God can cost you more than waiting ever will.

How-to’s you can do now to trust Gods timing:

1. Shift your prayer language. Instead of asking, “When will it happen for me?” begin asking, “Lord, what are You shaping in me right now?” This small shift keeps your eyes on growth instead of on the calendar. It keeps you working with God, not stagnant.

2. Document God’s faithfulness. This is so fun. Start a journal where you record answered prayers (no matter how small). You can even make it into a little scrapbook because when discouragement hits, go back and read it. Remembering His track record builds trust in His timing.

3. Stay rooted in your standards. Write out 3 non-negotiables for a future relationship that align with your faith. Post them somewhere visible. When someone enters your life, use those standards as your filter instead of your feelings.
