Episode 406 // Patience & Peace: The Basics and How to Find God’s Timing in the Wait [“Where Is God In My Mess?”]

Welcome back, Circle Time Sisters! 🎙️

Happy Tuesday! In today’s episode, Diana dives into the beauty of patience, the company we keep, and how God equips us to fulfill His calling. Using insights from Mark 2 and day 7 of Joyce Meyer’s Where Is God in My Mess? devotional, Diana shares how faith and perseverance can transform our waiting seasons into powerful moments of growth.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

✨ Called and Equipped by God:

Diana reflects on how God equips us for every mission He calls us to, inspired by Tara Leigh-Cobble’s quote:
"What God initiates, He will sustain and fulfill."
Through the story of the paralyzed man in Mark 2, we’re reminded of the importance of surrounding ourselves with faith-filled friends who lead us back to Jesus in times of need. Who you keep in your life can deeply impact your spiritual journey and healing.

✨ Biblical Affirmation:

This week’s affirmation from Ephesians 3:12 is:
"My confidence is in Christ—and Christ alone. Because His Spirit lives within me, I can do everything He calls me to do."
Hold onto this truth as a reminder that your strength comes from the One who equips you.

✨ Scripture Study from Mark 2:

We dive into Mark 2:4-5 and 10-12, exploring how faith can break barriers. Diana challenges us to think about our own “faith crew” and the intentional steps we take toward healing, even when obstacles arise. Are you surrounding yourself with people who carry you back to Jesus?

✨ Day 7 of Our Devotional:

In Where Is God in My Mess? Joyce Meyer redefines patience, emphasizing that it’s more than waiting—it’s about maintaining a Christ-centered attitude while we wait. Diana encourages us to see patience as a fruit of the Spirit that grows under trials and trust God’s timing in every circumstance.
