A Prayer for Those Who Wait

Kayla Craig

Jul 10, 2023

For this week’s episode, poet and speaker Tanner Olson shares a beautiful blessing with us in our waiting. Tanner’s writing weaves together faith, questions, humor, and hope as he encourages us to slow down and remember that life is meant to be enjoyed, even amidst all of the unknowns. If you find yourself in a season of waiting, may these words speak to your heart and spirit.

Find Tanner on Instagram at @writtentospeak, and find his books here.

Kayla’s new book, Every Season Sacred, is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together. You don’t have to have all the answers—and if we’re honest, many answers aren’t ours to have. This is the beauty of faith. Preorder your copy here.
