Billy Sticker argues that waiting periods aren't wasted time but preparation for what's next. He urges people to pray for insight into what they need to learn now, so they can move forward to the next job, role, or life phase instead of just feeling stuck.
What I thought was the waiting period, God was equipping me for what I was going to need in the next chapter. And so often we waste the waiting when God's trying to equip us for something else. And some of you right now, you're waiting for that next chapter, you're waiting for that next job or whatever it is, and maybe God's just waiting for you to learn what he's trying to teach you. So he can get you to the next chapter. So that needs to be your, your, your prayer. It's like, all right, God, if there's something I'm supposed to learn, help me learn it as soon as possible because I'm really ready for something else. But we can't waste what we think feels like waiting.
