## Resource

Waiting is not a period of wasted time, but a season of essential preparation and spiritual grounding. Kush Tracey shares how navigating professional setbacks and personal delays can lead to a deeper, more resilient faith.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Waiting periods are often divine training grounds designed to build the character required for future responsibilities
- Failure mode: Approaching prayer with anger and frustration can create a barrier that prevents hearing God's guidance
- Practical takeaway: Use periods of stillness to reframe your perspective from 'Why is this happening?' to 'What am I being taught?'
- Main idea: True faith is tested when external circumstances are shaken, requiring a reliance on scripture rather than personal momentum
- Practical takeaway: Trust that God's timing is intentional to prevent stepping into opportunities before you are spiritually equipped to handle them
