Summary

I’m Pat, and as an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Georgia, I felt aimless and frustrated 😕—songs I’d written weren’t flourishing, and I didn’t know my next step. Night after night I prayed, pouring out anxiety to God, until one evening I sensed Him whisper: “I have a lifetime to complete what I started in you” 🙏. In that moment I learned that God plays the long game, not ours. Though my circumstances didn’t change, my mindset did—I traded anxious striving for quiet trust 🕊️. That lesson in divine timing has shaped every chapter since: career hurdles, marriage, mortgages, and parenting. I continue to walk at His pace, confident in His perfect timing ⏳.

God’s timing is often different from what we’d expect or even prefer. Worship leader and songwriter Pat Barrett had to learn this lesson as a freshman in college, living away from his parents for the first time. In this episode he talks about a season of struggle that is both personal and pretty universal: waiting on God when you feel like He’s gone silent. It forever shaped how he views his walk with God.
