If you have been asking, “Why is God making me wait?” this episode is for you. Waiting can feel confusing, painful, and deeply personal — especially when you have been praying, trusting, and showing up, but nothing around you seems to be changing. In this Pretty Deep episode, Petrina Verma shares how God may be doing hidden work in you during a waiting season, even when you cannot yet see the answer.

We talk about the lie that says, “If nothing is changing, nothing is happening,” and how Scripture shows us a different story. Through biblical examples like Joseph and David, this episode explores spiritual formation, trusting God’s timing, surrendering control, and learning how to meet God in the waiting instead of striving your way out of it.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • Why waiting on God does not mean He is absent
  • What hidden work God may be doing in your heart
  • How spiritual formation happens in unseen seasons
  • Why delay is not always denial
  • Five prayer and journaling questions to bring to God while you wait
     
     This episode is part of 'The God You Didn't Know' — a season of honest conversations about the misunderstandings about God that quietly shape our confidence, identity, and peace.
