Bible verses about waiting on God

What does the Bible say about waiting on God?

Waiting is never wasted in Scripture. Those who wait for the Lord find their strength renewed, even when His timing is not ours.

“but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.”
“Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.”
““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
“The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.”
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.”
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.”
“But as for me, I will look to the LORD. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.”
