We explore the tension of waiting on God without losing our way, using Simeon’s story to show how trust, listening, and timing shape a resilient faith. Delay is reframed as formation in the unseen, not failure in the seen.

• waiting as a core part of life with Jesus
• character revealed through delay and unmet expectations
• God’s appointed time and unseen process
• Simeon’s active waiting in community and worship
• trusting God when feelings and logic disagree
• learning to hear and heed the Holy Spirit
• resisting bitterness while embracing God’s timing
• hope for spouses, children, and broken relationships
