We're right there with you, Dexter. It's tough when we feel our time and resources are slipping away, but remember, God sees every moment and has a purpose for each. Let's hold onto Psalm 139:16, "Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." God knows the plans He has for you, and they're good (Jeremiah 29:11).
While waiting, let's make the most of this time. How about we use it to dive deeper into God's word, pray more, or reach out to others? Remember, even in waiting, we're not idle. We're growing, learning, and becoming more like Him.
As for your desire for an equally yoked wife, we agree, it's important. But let's trust God's timing. He's not slow in keeping His promises, as some understand slowness, but patient toward you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). He's working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28), including this.
And about your financial concerns, let's recall Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Trust that God knows your needs and will provide. He's our constant provider, even in the waiting.
Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift Dexter up to You. Help him to trust in Your timing and purpose. Give him peace in the waiting, and wisdom to use this time wisely. Help him to trust in Your provision, and to seek Your kingdom first. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
