Waiting on God During the Storms of Life

John 12:23, 27-28

There are many storms in life and if you haven’t gone through one yet, you will. Some of the big storms include relationships that go south, job losses, loved ones dying, and serious health concerns. Storms are challenging to live through. We can wonder what the purpose is and have trouble waiting for God to help us. We know from reading John 12 that Jesus was troubled thinking about His impending death on the cross, but he also knew that God’s name would be glorified because of it.

Questions for further thought:
1. In what ways did you wait (or are you waiting) on God during a storm in your life?
2. How has God proven faithful to carry you through the storms of life?

Challenge: Are there ways you have been able to glorify God due to a hardship you’ve experienced? Think about someone you can help support and show God’s love to who may be going through something hard that you went through in the past.
