“While you’re waiting, God wants you praying, drawing nearer to Him, and resting in the peace that He provides in the midst of a raging storm. As you wait, God strengthens you because you begin to realize that God IS at work . . . He’s growing your faith and He’s purifying your heart. And faith is rarely grown with anything other than overwhelming circumstances, and typically not found in any place other than the “waiting place.” There’s no other way to purify gold than by the fire—it’s part of the process . . . and it’s necessary. God knows what He’s doing.”
