We are all familiar with the struggles of military life — deployments, waiting on orders, PCS season, friends moving… and some less talked about — feeling like you don’t belong because you don’t live anywhere long enough, being cautious about what information you can actually share, high infidelity or divorce rates, and the clash of military culture and Christianity.

It’s a lot.

No wonder you’re struggling with any semblance of patience. With all of these concerns pinging around your mind like a pinball machine, it makes sense that you’re consistently operating in the red zone. And when you’re in that mindset, patience becomes yet another area you feel like you’re floundering in.

…and yet, the Bible commands us to be patient.

Romans 12:12 says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

But are you noticing what I am? This command has three parts.

Paul begins his exhortation by reminding believers to be joyful in hope. The New Living Translation translates this as “rejoice in our confident hope.” So our first step to patience must begin with finding joy in hope—our hope found in Christ alone.

We must remember our present struggles are only temporary. When we find ourselves in the throes of military life, we must remember — no matter the hardship here and now, it does not change who God is, and it has no effect on my eternal hope in Christ. Praise the Lord.

From that perspective shift, we realize whatever affliction we may face, Jesus is bigger. He’s already won the war. I don’t have to scramble to fix every situation — I must simply abide in Him and the hope He died to give me. That hope allows space to practice patience, which translates from the original Greek “to remain, endure, bear up bravely under a heavy load.”

Military wife, I know it’s a heavy load. I know you are weary. But instead of giving into the lies of the enemy, remind yourself of God’s Word. Remind yourself again of your untouchable hope in Christ. This, too, will pass.

Paul knows the only way to live this out is to remain “faithful in prayer.” Do not give up praying. Remain faithful to the communication line between you and your heavenly Father. He is the One who sustains you and holds you in the palm of His hand.

In military life, there is greater wear-and-tear on our household goods due to all the moving – but there is also a greater wear-and-tear on our souls.

We recently had to replace our washer and dryer. It broke halfway through a load of wet clothes. After multiple repairs, it was time to throw in the literal towel.

It was extra frustrating because we bought them brand new less than five years ago. But as we considered it, we have moved four times since purchasing them--greater wear-and-tear due to the reality of our circumstances.

Finding community, and then saying goodbye. Deployments, field exercises, solo-parenting, stresses on marriages… it all can wear us down, and it’s easy to feel discouraged and weary.

Military wife, it is essential we stay rooted in the One Who anchors us, heals us, and grows us through the struggle.

Psalm 1:3 says that a person who draws near to God and His Word “is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”

When things are going well, draw near to Jesus.
When you are struggling, bring your worries to Jesus.
Every season, every day, every moment, draw near to the One who created you, knows you, and restores you. He’s the only One who can.

“So, I got our HHG weight estimate. It says we’re over, but that can’t be right!”

I was on the phone with my husband while he was deployed, and we were preparing for an upcoming PCS.

The new electronic system had me walk through every room, opening cabinets, drawers, closets, and even showing the outside of our home. Somehow, the estimate came back at more than 13,000 pounds.

Not exactly what my husband wanted to hear while deployed.

When he came home, one thing that seemed to help keep him busy those first couple of weeks was purging like crazy.

Meanwhile, I was getting frustrated thinking, “We’re just going to have to buy that again at the next house.”

The good news? After the move, we found out we were under 5,000 pounds. I knew we weren’t hoarders! Spending spree, anyone?

But in the middle of clearing things out, I started noticing how much we had stored that we hadn’t touched in years.

You’ve probably been there too. You keep something because maybe it will work in the next house. Then you move, and it still doesn’t fit the space. So you pack it up and move it again.

As we were clearing things out, I started thinking about what I’ve carried from season to season in my own life with the Lord.

What have I been carrying around that has added more weight than I realized?

What might have been helpful in one season, but God is asking me to let go of in this one?

What sinful tendencies, even ones that seem small, have slowly started to entangle me and keep me from walking in greater freedom?

Hebrews 12:1–2 tells us to “lay aside every weight and run with endurance the race before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.”

If we’re not careful, we can keep carrying things God does not want us to hold onto. Fear. Expectations. Bitterness. Striving. Patterns we’ve held onto for so long we barely notice how much they’re weighing us down.

Friend, the race is already hard.

We don’t need to make it heavier by carrying what God is asking us to lay down.

Our eyes are meant to stay fixed on Jesus.

Not on how well we’re doing. Not on whether we feel strong enough. Not on what we can add around us to make the journey more manageable.

On Him.

He is the One who endured the cross for the joy set before Him, and He is the One we keep looking to as we run the race in front of us.

So maybe today our prayer is both, “Lord, what are You asking me to lay down?” and “Help me keep my eyes fixed on You as I run the race You’ve set before me.”

Father God,

Today I lift up the military wife who is grieving. Whether her grief is from loss of a loved one, from missing loved ones far away, or from the loss of what she thought her life should look like, You see her heartache.

I pray she would bring her burdens to You, knowing that You do not always heal instantly, but often over time and continual surrender. May she return to You again and again, laying her sorrow at Your feet. Like untangling an impossible knot, give her the patience to see You tugging gently, over time, working out what she has deemed helpless.

Grant her peace as You walk with her through this trial. May Your Spirit fill her and heal her broken heart, like glue filling cracks of shattered glass with the promise of perfect restoration in heaven.

You are our hope, healer, restorer, and redeemer. Thank You for tending to our tender hearts in the grief. You are truly our good Father. Amen.

“Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph's character.” Psalm 105:19

There are seasons in military life that feel like a set of parentheses – a pause in the main text. We’re not where we were, but we’re not yet where we're going. Maybe you're living in that moment now. The assignment you never would have chosen. The deployment you're counting down one bedtime at a time. The career you put on hold again. The friendship you're hesitant to deepen because someone will eventually PCS. The prayer you've prayed so long you've stopped knowing what to say. We call these seasons “waiting”, but I wonder if God sometimes calls them “becoming”.

Joseph understood the distance between promise and fulfillment. At 17, God gave him dreams of what was ahead. But the path forward traveled through a pit, slavery, false accusations, and prison. None of it looked like preparation… but t it was.

Joseph learned to steward a household before he stewarded a nation. He practiced faithfulness in obscurity before anyone knew his name. Prison wasn't where the promise died – it was the place that prepared Joseph to carry it.

I think about the seasons I begged God to change, only to look back later and realize He was changing me instead. Military life can make us desperate for the next thing.

When we get orders.
When he comes home.
When we finally settle somewhere.
When this season is over.

And without realizing it, we spend so much time reaching for “then” that we miss what God is doing now. Perhaps today isn't merely something to survive on your way to somewhere better. Perhaps there is holy work happening here.

Resilience formed.
Marrriage strengthened.
Dependence on God deepening.
The woman you're becoming when no one is applauding.

Joseph couldn't see Egypt from the prison. He simply remained faithful in the place God had him. So, military wife, don't despise the in-between. Keep showing up. Keep loving. Keep praying. Keep becoming. The season you keep asking God to hurry through may be the very place He's preparing you for what comes next. The waiting room isn't wasted when God is in it.

“The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” — Genesis 16:2

Military wives know something about waiting. We wait for orders that were supposed to come last week. We wait through deployments that somehow feel longer than they looked on the calendar. We wait for promotion lists, housing assignments, medical appointments, homecomings, and phone calls that finally tell us what happens next.

And somewhere in all that waiting, we become very good at making plans. Sarah did too. God promised Abraham a family – but year after year passed without a child, and Sarah was getting older. The promise hadn't changed, but everything screamed time was running out.

So Sarah made a plan. She gave her servant-girl, Hagar, to Abraham, following a practice that would not have seemed unusual in her culture. It was practical. Understandable, even. But it wasn't God's promise.

I wonder how many times we've done something similar. We pray, “Lord, I trust You.” Then the orders don't come. The marriage doesn't change. The door doesn't open. The answer doesn't arrive. And somewhere between surrender and Tuesday afternoon, we start trying to help God along. We send the email. Push the conversation. Manipulate the timeline. Carry something He never asked us to carry. Because sometimes waiting feels too much like doing nothing. But biblical patience isn't doing nothing. It's trusting God enough to resist manufacturing what He has asked us to entrust to Him.

But Sarah’s impatience did not thwart God’s faithfulness. There were consequences to her choices, but He didn't abandon His promise. In time, Sarah held Isaac in her arms.

Maybe today you're holding onto a set of circumstances you cannot fix. Military wife, loosen your grip. God doesn't need you to manufacture the miracle. You can make the next faithful decision, but leave tomorrow with Him. Because even when military life makes almost everything feel uncertain, what God has promised is still safe in His hands.

Heavenly Father,

I pray for the military wife who is waiting for what comes next. The rush to submit lists and check all the boxes can be exhausting, but the waiting that comes after the hustle is all-consuming. It’s the calm after the storm where everything that just took place starts to add up. God, will you comfort this military wife today? Remind her that You have everything under control.

You are not fretting over when or where.

You are not questioning whether wrong choices were made.

Your plans are perfect.

Father, You are so intentional in all the ways You work. Remind this military wife of Your faithfulness, and help her rest in knowing Your character during this season of waiting. You love her so very much.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

“The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the Lord's anointed.” 1 Samuel 24:6

Military wives learn quickly that very little stays still. Orders change. Plans shift. Careers bend around assignments. Opportunities appear, but with expiration dates attached. So when a door opens, we're conditioned to move. Quickly.

David was waiting too. He had already been anointed as Israel's future king, yet Saul still occupied the throne—and was actively trying to kill him. So when Saul walked directly into the cave where David was hiding, David's men essentially said, “This is it! God delivered him right into your hands.”

And wouldn't we have wondered the same thing? “Look how perfectly this worked out. Surely this must be God.”

David could have ended the threat to his life that day. Instead, he waited. He waited because he understood something I'm still learning – just because a door opens doesn't mean God asked me to walk through it.

That's difficult when you've spent years adapting and becoming problem-solvers.

When our spouse is gone, we handle it.

When plans collapse, we rebuild them.

When something needs doing, we figure it out.

That strength is a gift – but sometimes the same hands that have learned to handle everything must learn to release as well.

Maybe you're there today. There's a decision you could force. A conversation you could control. An opportunity you could grab onto because you're terrified another one won't come along. But before asking, “Can I make this happen?”, perhaps ask, “Has God asked me to do this?”

David eventually became king without killing Saul to get there. He didn't have to compromise his obedience to obtain God's promise, and neither do you. Military life may require us to respond quickly to changing circumstances, but our souls don't have to live hurried.

Sometimes faith moves. Sometimes faith waits. And sometimes the bravest thing a woman accustomed to handling everything can do is open her hands and say, “Lord, I could, but I trust You enough not to.”
