Anchor Points: When Waiting Feels Like a Wilderness

Ever felt like you were stuck waiting for answers, clarity, or just forward motion?

What does it actually mean to “wait on the Lord”?

Waiting can feel like wandering in the wilderness, especially when you’ve prayed, planned, and hoped—but the outcome hasn’t come yet. In this episode, Devin Almonte opens up about a season of long-term waiting, filled with delays and detours. But it’s in that space that she discovered something deeper: a call not to passive patience, but to active pursuit of God.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin explores:

  • Why biblical waiting isn’t passive
  • How prayer, worship, and seeking God change the waiting process
  • What to do when life feels stuck or stalled

Scripture:

Psalm 27:14 – “Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say, on the LORD.”

Isaiah 64:4 – “No eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.”

Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…”

About the Podcast

INSIGHT OUT
Clarity for the mind. Joy for the heart. Truth for the times. Christian news, devotionals & podcast conversations to help us flourish.
Think, see, and live differently. By uncovering God’s truth and removing the blinders that keep us from seeing clearly, we are called not only to reflect on these truths when we rise, when we lie down, and in all we do, but to live them out in every area of our lives.

As Deuteronomy 6:6-7 reminds us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Faith is not meant to stay in our thoughts; it is meant to be lived out in action. What fills our minds and hearts shapes our lives, and what we truly believe must become evident in how we live. Together, we will learn what it means to live this out every day.

This is more than a podcast; it is a way of life, a call to see life InSight Out, to live as we were created to live, flourish as God intended, and build our lives on the rock-solid foundation of His Word. Why? Because how we live matters.
