Episode 17: Joy in Waiting (Part 2): Is God Waiting on Me?

Show Notes

What if God is waiting on you? — not because He needs you to have everything figured out, but because He’s inviting you to take the next step?

In Part 2 of Joy in Waiting, Jessica shares how she realized she was waiting to feel ready, qualified, and confident before stepping into what God was calling her to do.

If fear, comparison, doubt, or feeling unqualified has been keeping you stuck, I hope this episode reminds you that you don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin.

Discover how to trust God when you don’t feel ready, overcome comparison and fear, recognize what God has already placed in your hands, and take the next step in faith—even when you don’t feel ready.

God is faithful.
He will equip you.
He is working—even when you can’t see it.
And sometimes, the next step is simply trusting the whisper and moving forward.

So ask yourself:

What am I waiting for?

What’s keeping me from taking the next step?

What is God inviting me to do next?

Take the next step.
Trust the whisper.
And trust God to take care of the rest.

He’s waiting on you…
