God’s Perfect Timing
By Kari Smalley Gibson, TP Community Storyteller
There was a season in Hala’s life when she was facing an impossible decision at work. She remembers reaching out to the Tipping Point family and asking for prayer because she knew that unless God intervened, she could lose her job.
Our community prayed, and before long, God made a way. An exemption was put in place that allowed Hala to continue working. Looking back, she could clearly see His perfect timing. It wasn’t a coincidence—it was God’s faithful answer to prayer.
During that same season, Hala’s little church was facing another challenge. Her brother, who pastors their church, believed God was calling him to keep the church doors open despite the pressure to close them. Because of that decision, legal papers were sent to their local law enforcement with instructions to arrest him.
But once again, God had already gone before them.
The mayor of their hometown refused to serve the papers. His response still amazes Hala: “It will be a cold day in hell before I serve those papers.”
Her brother was never arrested, and their church continued gathering together. Throughout that season, their church witnessed God’s faithfulness in countless ways. Looking back, Hala can clearly see His hand at work, answering prayers, opening doors, and carrying them through every challenge.
When Hala looks back, she doesn’t just remember the uncertainty—she remembers God’s faithfulness. Again and again, He went before them, answered prayer, and reminded her that He is always in control, even when life feels anything but.
Hala is so thankful for every person who prayed for her and stood with her. God used the Tipping Point family to strengthen her faith, remind her that she wasn’t alone, and show her once again that He hears the prayers of His children.
If you’re facing an impossible situation today, don’t lose heart. God is never late. He sees what you’re facing, He hears every prayer, and His timing is always perfect.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5–6 (NLT)

So Christians are not immune to anxiety and worry and fear just because we're Christians. But we do have a solution. We have the same problems as people in the world, we just have a different solution. And the solution we have is a loving Heavenly Father. —Jimmy Evans
