Dr. Velma Talks: Wait Training

September 21, 2024 Episode—I am overjoyed to welcome you to yet another enriching journey on "Dr. Velma Talks." Can you believe it? We are already on episode 12! In this milestone episode, I wish to thank each and every one of you for tuning in and supporting this podcast. Your continued engagement and feedback fuel my passion for godly dating, relationships, and marriage advice.

 Reflecting on Our Journey

 

As we near the end of this season—with only two more episodes to go—I want to take a moment to reflect on the invaluable insights we've shared so far. This podcast has been a labor of love, grounded in my 50 years of marriage and my dedication to guiding women and men toward fulfilling, godly relationships.

 Praying for Your Future Mate

One key concept discussed in this episode is the importance of prayer and faith in preparing for a lifelong relationship. If you believe that God has a spouse for you, start praying for them now. Cover them in prayer, asking God to protect them from the enemy and to prepare their hearts for you. Trust in God's timing and wisdom, just as Adam waited with his eyes closed until God saw it fit to bring him a companion.

Ladies, resist the urge to interrupt a man fulfilling his purpose; instead, focus on your own growth and purpose.

 Faith Muscles and Waiting Season

We also dive deep into what I call "weight training" or the waiting season. This period is about more than just waiting—it's about growing. As Isaiah 40:31 teaches, those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.

During this season, build your faith muscles by immersing yourself in God's word, spending time in prayer, and surrounding yourself with a godly community.

Your faith will grow stronger, preparing you for the blessing God has in store.

 Speak Life, Not Curses

 

Remember, words have power. I emphasize the importance of speaking blessings into your life rather than curses. Words of doubt and negativity can bring about the very things we fear. Instead, declare God's promises over your life and your future relations.

Speak life into your circumstances, trusting that God will bring the right person into your life at the perfect time.
