About this ebook
- trust God’s ways rather than doubt His delays;
- look forward to the future while staying present in the present;
- wait with God, not on God;
- experience God rather than endure the delay;
- focus on the Person of our faith rather than the object of our wait; and
- push through the pause by doing what we know to do.

Welcome
Welcome to the Wait and See Participant’s Guide. I’m thrilled to be doing Bible study with you! And I’m so thankful that we get to work things out together and learn about this subject that has become such a passion and need of mine over many years—waiting well. (I even wrote a whole book about it—Wait and See: Finding Peace in God’s Pauses and Plans.)
This Bible study is unlike any you’ve ever done. I kept you in mind throughout the entire creative process. You, the woman who wants so badly to study God’s Word but doesn’t know where or how to start. You, the woman who gets so excited to start a new Bible study but stops going to class because you didn’t get your blanks filled in. You, the woman who loves to study the Bible but doesn’t want to study alone.
This study is for you! Come with me to a Bible study without guilt and homework—the Bible study you’ve been waiting for!
For six sessions you will join your friends—some you know, and others you may meet during your group time—to study God’s Word. Each class will begin with a ten-minute video teaching segment followed by a teacher-led discussion. Then the real fun begins! You and your friends answer the study questions—together. Friends don’t let friends leave empty blanks in their Bible study. And all God’s girls said, Amen!
The days of condemnation for incomplete homework pages and sitting out of Bible study because of it are over … in Jesus’s name. Liberty in Bible study begins here. It begins today!
And if you like to have a little something to do during the week, I haven’t forgotten you. At the end of each lesson is a section called On Your Own … If You Want To.
This small assignment is not mandatory, nor is it a prerequisite for admission to the next session. No one will even ask whether you completed it. What a relief, right?
I’ve tucked a prayer deep in my heart for you. This prayer aligns beautifully with Jesus’s words in John 8:32, Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
The Greek word for know
in this verse is gin´ōskō, meaning to know through personal experience.
I pray you experience God so intimately and personally that you don’t wait for
