The promised blessings in our life from the Lord are sure. So how do we learn to wait well as some of those blessings take more time to be fulfilled? We're all waiting on something from the Lord in our lives: peace, patience, a promise that has not yet been fulfilled.

"Our worth is not determined by what we are waiting for."

Our guest Heather Johnson has been studying out why we have those waiting periods and what we are supposed to learn about ourselves while we wait for the Lord to fulfill his promises. She joins us today to help us understand what it means to "wait well."

Top takeaways from this episode:

• Relying on moments we have already had with the spirit is how we get through the waiting periods of our lives.
• Our worth is not determined by what blessings we might be waiting for from the Lord. We are already worthy of His love.
• Learning to control our emotions while enduring our waiting periods will bring us peace and the ability to wait well.
• Growth and closeness to God are blessings of learning to wait well.

Small and simple challenge: try to not make the waiting period be connected to your worth. Anytime you have a thought that you aren't good enough because you haven't received promised blessings, redirect your thoughts to better recognize your worth.
