The Wait Devotional
Daily Inspirations for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love
About this book
A daily devotional based on the New York Times bestselling The Wait, filled with inspiring readings about how having the patience to wait for God's bestâinstead of grasping for what you want right nowâcan transform your life. In The Wait, DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good, a Hollywood power couple who famously saved sex for marriage, shared the life-changing message that waitingârather than rushingâcan be the key for finding the person you're meant to be with.Now, their powerful message is reflected again in The Wait Devotional. Filled with scripture, prayers, and DeVon and Meagan's trademark conversational style, this 90-day devotional is packed with real-time advice for men and women trying to successfully navigate the ins and outs of dating, love, and relationships. You'll discover how waiting for everythingâfrom sex to getting engagedâcan transform your entire life by giving you greater patience, joy, peace, healing, faith, and love.Whether you're waiting for the right person to come along or you're searching for the strength to put intimacy on hold, The Wait Devotional can help you slow down and trust in God's perfect timing, day by day.
