The Freedom to Ask God Hard Questions

Key Message: We can bring our most difficult questions to God and trust He has the capacity to answer while we wait.

Episode Highlights:

The Challenge: If you had uninterrupted time with God, what hard question would you ask Him?

For Listeners Who:

Welcome to While You Wait Wednesday, where we discover hope and transformation during life's waiting seasons. Today's episode explores a powerful analogy about what removes dead things from our lives to create abundant life. Host Rev. Dr. Lael C. Melville shares a profound revelation from an unexpected Segway tour experience.

So here's what I want you to consider today: What dead things might Jesus be wanting to remove from your life while you wait?

Maybe it's:

Just like those fish in that beautiful mountain water, Jesus' work in your life during waiting seasons isn't punishment - it's restoration. It's preparation. It's making space for the abundant life He has planned for you.

I want to encourage you this week to pay attention to what God might be removing from your life. Don't resist the process. Trust that He's creating space for something beautiful, something alive, something abundant.

Let's pray together:

"Jesus, thank You that You came to give us abundant life. While we wait for what You have next for us, help us trust Your process of removing what's dead and creating space for what's alive. Give us patience with Your timing and faith in Your goodness. Amen."

Thank you for joining me for While You Wait Wednesday. Remember, your waiting season isn't wasted time - it's sacred space where God is actively working for your good.

If this message encouraged you, please share it with someone else who might need to hear it. And don't forget to subscribe to While You Wait Ministries for more encouragement during your waiting seasons.

Until next Wednesday, keep waiting well.

Blessings,

Rev. Dr. Lael C. Melville

In This Episode:

Key Message: "We are made in the image of God, and it is right to imitate what God does. See how God loves, serves and gives in the Word of God."

In this episode, we explore the powerful story of the feeding of the 5,000 - a miracle so important it appears in all four Gospels. Discover why Jesus took the small offering of two fish and five loaves, lifted it to heaven, blessed it, broke it, and how that brokenness became more than enough to feed a multitude.
