When God’s Timing Feels Different Than Mine

This morning, I felt sad.
My husband just started a new job, and the rhythm is different than we expected.
We thought he’d be home more, and now he’s in the office four days a week.
And suddenly, the dreams we’ve been holding for our future feel… delayed.

It hit me harder than I wanted to admit.

And right there, in the middle of my disappointment, Psalm 37 came back to me:

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.”

God isn’t asking me to pretend everything feels fine.
He isn’t asking me to power through with a smile.

He’s inviting me to trust Him when:

• the timeline shifts

• the plan changes

• expectations get rearranged

• the next step feels farther away

Obedience today looks like choosing trust over panic.
It looks like staying yoked beside Jesus instead of sprinting ahead into fear.

God hasn’t changed His promises.
Only the pace.

So today, I’m choosing to breathe, stay aligned, and let Him unfold the story — even when it’s slower than I hoped.

Reflection questions:

• Where am I trying to rush God today?

• What expectation do I need to hand back to Him?

• What does “staying yoked” look like in this exact moment?
