B Moments

When God Has You in a Holding Pattern


Listen Later

Have you ever been in flight, anxious to land, only to hear the pilot say, “We’ve been placed in a holding pattern”? Your heart sinks a little. You were ready. You had plans. You thought you were moments away… and suddenly, you’re circling instead of landing.

Life with God can feel the same way. You’ve prayed, prepared, and positioned yourself, yet nothing is moving. Not because you’ve done something wrong, but because the timing isn’t aligned with His purpose just yet. A holding pattern isn’t punishment — it’s alignment. It’s God waiting for the conditions to match the calling.

And while you’re circling, He’s strengthening your trust, and settling your spirit. What feels like stillness is often strategic positioning. 

When the moment is right, God will clear your path. And you’ll land exactly where He intends.

As you reflect on that, remember these words -- “…but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”  Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)

This has been your B Moment. Your moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.

So today, trust His timing!

Be Reflective: Where in your life do you feel like you’re circling, ready to land, but God is still saying, “Not yet?” How might this holding pattern be an invitation to trust His timing more deeply?

Be Prayerful: Heavenly Father, help me trust You when I feel stuck in the air. Strengthen my heart to wait with faith, not frustration. Align my steps with Your timing, and prepare me for the moment You release me to land exactly where You intend.” Amen.

Be Fed:  Psalm 27:13-14; Lamentations 3:25-26; 2 Corinthians 4:16
