5 Acts of Faith That Will Bring You Peace

12/26/2025

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:25–26

In a world that prizes speed, productivity, and instant gratification, the concept of “waiting on the Lord” can feel foreign and frustrating. But in Scripture, waiting is not passive—it’s active. It’s a spiritual discipline rooted in trust, surrender, and hope.

Waiting on the Lord is not about doing nothing; it’s about believing deeply, expecting patiently, and resting confidently in the One who holds all things together. It’s in this kind of waiting that peace begins to bloom.

Today, let's look at 5 acts of faith that Scripture shows us will bring lasting peace to our hearts.

#Discover powerful #encouragement from #Hebrews 12 and Jude as this #devotional urges #believers to trade #weariness for #perseverance. #Learn how to #endure #spiritual battles, fix your eyes on #Jesus, resist #discouragement, and stay rooted in #God’s love. A #hope-filled reminder that God strengthens every step of your #faith journey. #ChristianEncouragement #BibleStudy #Hebrews12 #BookofJude #FaithJourney #DontGrowWeary #FixYourEyesOnJesus #SpiritualEndurance #ChristianLiving #WomenInTheWord

What if we spent a few quiet moments with God each morning? What if we were intentional about making time for it? And what if we committed to doing that all year long—only to find that by the end of the year, we had read the entirety of God’s Word—His love letter to us?

How many times have you, on January 1, resolved to read the Bible from cover to cover in a year? I’ve made that commitment more times than I can count—and I’ve failed more times than I’d like to admit. But a few years ago, I tried something different. I used a one-year, chronological order of book authorship Bible Reading Itinerary.

Did you know that Genesis wasn’t the first book of the Bible written? While these plans can vary—since it’s impossible to pinpoint exact dates for some books—the plan I used began with the book of Job.

Last month, we began looking at this inevitable aspect of life – waiting! No one can avoid it, and very few can make it go faster. There is always something to wait for in life. Knowing that waiting is part of life can be frustrating while we sit in the doctor’s waiting room, the DMV line, or the line at the grocery store.

Maybe your waiting is for something much more important, like waiting for a loved one to trust Christ or for the Lord to answer a prayer request that you have prayed for years. Maybe you are waiting for a child to come back to Christ or for the results of a scary medical test. Maybe you are waiting for Christmas to come, or for a change in job, or a move that is on the horizon.

I could go on and on naming things we are waiting for because these scenarios are part of every aspect of our lives.

Some of the most hope-filled, identity-shaping words in all of Scripture are found in Romans 8.

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,

'For Your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.'

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35–39

Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed with the “stuff” and pressure of this life? Perhaps it manifests as inner turmoil that you keep inside and try to deal with quietly, while continuing with your work and responsibilities. Maybe it finds its way to the surface and causes you fear and anxiety that at times can be crippling. Perhaps it feels more like a weight that you carry and don’t know how to find relief.

God never wastes a good wait, friend, and you shouldn't either! Waiting is something we all experience—yet few of us enjoy it.

Whether we're waiting on

an answer to prayer
clarity for a decision
healing froma sickness
the fulfillment of a promise

the space between “now” and “not yet” can feel like a silent wilderness. But here’s the beautiful truth: God never wastes a wait—there is always a purpose to this season of life!

The Bible speaks often and powerfully about waiting—whether it’s for God’s promises, His timing, or His guidance. Waiting isn’t passive; it’s active faith. It’s trust in motion. It’s an invitation to endure, hope, and grow in our faith.

When "Good" Doesn't Feel Good

We love #Romans 8:28--until life gets hard. But what happens when

Understanding Romans 8:28-29

I recently heard someone say that comfort is the god of our generation, and it struck a chord with me. Maybe that’s why verses like Romans 8:28 are so frustrating to so many:

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”

Some translations say it like this: “God works all things together for good” or “God works in all things for the good.”

If you weren’t already frustrated, you might be now—because that verse says in all things.
