Some seasons in life feel like standing on a quiet platform after the train has already pulled away. You can still feel the wind of its passing — the sting of missed chances, the ache of goodbye, the whisper of what if.

Yet not every train is meant to carry us where we’re called to go. Some simply pass through to remind us of what still needs healing, what must be released, or what faith looks like when we can’t yet see the next arrival.

God’s timing is never late; it is layered with purpose. The waiting platform becomes holy ground when we trust His timetable. In the stillness, He prepares our hearts, strengthens our legs for the journey ahead, and whispers, “Be still, I’m bringing something better.”

So, if a door closes, a person walks away, or a dream seems to slip beyond reach, don’t run after it. Stand firm, breathe deeply, and look up. The right train will come — one that carries peace, purpose, and promise. And when it does, you’ll know it’s time to step aboard.

💡Reflection:

What “train” in your life have you been tempted to chase?🤔

How might God be inviting you to wait with trust instead of striving?🤔

🙌Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for teaching me to wait with hope, not haste. When I feel left behind or forgotten, remind me that Your plans never miss their timing. Help me rest in Your faithfulness, trusting that the train You’ve prepared for me will come — right on time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
