Unscripted Conversations – Episode 6
Podcast Host: Ashley Finch | SimplyBlessedDesignz
Waiting on God isn’t easy—especially when the dream He placed in your heart feels stuck on hold.
In this episode of Unscripted Conversations, we’re digging into what it looks like to trust God’s timing when your dream hasn’t come to life yet. Whether you’re living in a season of “not yet” or wrestling with the silence, this one’s for you.
When God Says “Not Yet”
What do you do when your heart says go, but God says wait?
When it feels like the dream is holy, the desire is real, but the timing isn’t right?
This episode is all about that sacred tension between believing and waiting. Between sowing and reaping. It’s for the woman who’s faithfully watering the soil—but hasn’t seen the fruit.
You’re not forgotten. This isn’t punishment. You’re just in a season of divine preparation.
What Waiting on God Can Teach Us
There are things God builds in us during the wait that we would’ve skipped if He gave it to us too soon.In this episode, I share:
– How I’ve wrestled with delayed dreams
– The difference between detour and delay
– What spiritual maturity looks like in the “pause”
– Encouragement when comparison starts creeping in
Scriptures for When You’re Waiting on God
If you’re struggling with dreams that feel delayed, here are a few verses I shared in the podcast that can anchor your heart:
Psalm 27:14
“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”
Romans 8:28
“God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him…”
Habakkuk 2:3
“If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.”
