You asked

why does waiting take so long?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Psalm 27:14

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Psalm 27 is a psalm of David, expressing confidence in God's protection and presence amidst trouble and enemies. This verse comes at the very end of the psalm, serving as a concluding encouragement to trust and persevere.

What does it mean to actively 'wait' rather than passively enduring?
