God Is Waiting for Me

May 24, 2026 by Sandra O. (Delta State, Nigeria)

Mark 4:24 still resonates within me. It has indeed become a guide in my relationship with God.

Walking with God over the years has taught me how to listen and actually hear God speak. In a world constantly and ever-increasingly filled with so much noise, it is important that we pay close attention to hear the One who speaks.

From the time I wrote this article till now, life has thrown so many obstacles and issues my way. My faith in God has been tested. I’ve been pushed to question certain circumstances.

But God’s word has kept me going. It has given me understanding in times of confusion and peace in times of chaos. My secret weapon has always been shutting the world out and going to meet God in the secret place where he always waits for me, ever ready to speak.
