We have all heard it said: never pray for patience. The reason is simple—patience comes with trials. Those moments when waiting seems impossible, when all we want is to act, move forward, or see results immediately. From crying babies to impatient adults, learning to wait has always been a challenge. Yet, as Christians, patience is more than a desirable trait—it is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), described in the King James Version as longsuffering, the endurance needed to hope for an expected outcome while trusting God’s timing.

God Strengthens Us While We Wait

Patience doesn’t mean enduring alone. Scripture reminds us that God strengthens our hearts as we wait on Him (Psalm 27:14) and hears our cries in times of need (Psalm 40:1). Trusting His timing begins with recognizing that God is in control and His plan for our lives is impeccable. As Rhonda Baldwin shares, “Jeremiah 29:11 has become one of my life verses… Knowing that God loves me enough to have a plan brings both joy and humility.”

Even when our human nature demands immediate results, God’s promises remain true: “All things work together for good to them that love God…” (Romans 8:28). Learning to trust His timing allows us to be used for His glory and experience the full richness of His plan.

Trusting His Timing in Everyday Life and Scripture

In our modern age of instant gratification—same-day deliveries, microwaves, and one-click orders—we have grown accustomed to having what we want immediately. But spiritual growth requires patience and trust. This principle is illustrated in the Bible through Joshua. God promised Joshua the city of Jericho, but the city was sealed tight. Following God’s detailed seven-day plan required patience, faith, and obedience. On the seventh day, Joshua witnessed God’s miraculous power when the walls of Jericho fell (Joshua 6:20).

The same God who guided Joshua is with us today. While it can be challenging to lay aside our own plans and desires, prayer, Bible study, and quiet reflection help us remain attuned to His voice. Sometimes His guidance is subtle; other times, it is unmistakable. By learning to trust, obey, and wait, we align ourselves with His perfect plan and experience peace even during uncertain seasons.

A Story That Brings This Truth to Life

In her second novel, Trusting His Timing, Rhonda Baldwin brings these truths to life through her beloved characters: Cayden, Allie, Ila, and their circle of family and friends. Picking up where her debut novel Following His Lead left off, the book explores real-life challenges and spiritual lessons during the COVID-19 pandemic—a season that left many readers reflecting on their own journeys of waiting, patience, and faith.

As Cayden faces questions of love and purpose, Allie experiences heartache that resonates with readers who have endured similar struggles. Phillip and Ila continue their ministry, demonstrating that serving God is a calling that brings joy and purpose even amidst uncertainty. Through their stories, readers see firsthand how trusting God’s timing can lead to growth, fulfillment, and deepened faith.

Major themes woven throughout the novel include:

• Peace in troubled times through faith in Christ

• Strength and clarity through seeking God’s will
