Waiting on God

A Timeless Christian Devotional on Trust, Prayer, and God’s Perfect Timing

“Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation.” (Psalm 62:1)

What does it mean to truly wait on God?

In a world that moves fast and demands immediate answers, Andrew Murray calls believers back to a slower, deeper, and more faithful way of living—a life marked by quiet trust, patient prayer, and full dependence on the Lord.

In Waiting on God, Murray walks through 31 short daily meditations, each centered on the biblical call to wait upon the Lord. With pastoral warmth and theological clarity, he shows that waiting is not passive—it is active faith. It is the posture of a soul that knows God is sovereign, wise, and good in all His ways.

This devotional gently trains the heart to:

• Trust God’s timing, even when answers seem delayed
• Rest in His sovereignty instead of striving in anxiety
• Grow in prayer marked by humility and expectation
• Fix your hope fully on God—not on circumstances

 

Murray reminds us that God is always at work—often in unseen ways—shaping His people through seasons of waiting. What feels like delay is often His mercy, drawing us closer to Himself.

Originally written in the late 19th century, this Christian classic continues to speak with clarity and conviction to believers today. Whether used personally, with a spouse, or in family worship, Waiting on God offers a steady, Scripture-saturated guide to deeper faith and greater peace.
