Have you ever felt stuck in a “not yet” season of life? You’re praying, you’re hoping, you’re waiting—but nothing seems to change. If that’s you, Christian content creator Dayne Kamela has a message that might just reframe how you see this time.
In a recent livestream titled “How to Stay Faithful in the Waiting Season,” Kamela spoke openly about his own long road of obedience and spiritual development.
“Some of God’s best work is done in seasons just like this,” he says. “Because He is your reward. Jesus is your reward.”

Kamela, who has been sharing his faith online for more than five years, encourages believers not to waste the quiet seasons. “He wants your time. He wants your attention. He wants your devotion to Him,” Kamela says. “And I believe one of the ways that we move from a waiting season… into a season where God starts to move in powerful ways is in direct proportion to how much time you’re willing to spend with Him.”
Rather than chase answers or compare your timeline to others, Kamela offers this simple reminder: “If you make Him your delight, if you make Him the most important thing, He will do such a good work in you.”
He knows what it’s like to wait. Kamela recalled his early days creating YouTube videos, when his channel was just getting 10 to 20 views. “It wasn’t about any of that during that time. God wanted to work on me,” he said. “This season isn’t going to be a year, it’s not going to be five years. It’s going to be a decade of Me developing you.”
That decade, he says, laid the foundation for what he’s doing now.
Throughout the livestream, Kamela shared several Scriptures to encourage listeners in their waiting:
- Isaiah 40:31: “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength… they will walk and not faint.”
- Psalm 27:14: “Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous.”
- Psalm 130:5: “I am counting on the Lord… I have put my hope in His word.”
- Ephesians 3:20: “Now all glory to God who is able… to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
But Kamela’s message isn’t just about spiritual development. It was about identity.
“You’ve got access to the most important thing,” he says, referring to the presence of the Holy Spirit. “Don’t let the world convince you that you are missing something… Your identity is in Christ. You are a son or daughter of the Most High God.”
He also emphasizes the importance of a personal, private relationship with God, citing Matthew 6:6, “When you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private… then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you,” he reads.
At the heart of Kamela’s message is a challenge—and an invitation.
“Do you trust God’s timing more than your own?” he asks. “This is what it means to be a follower of Christ. We spend time with Him every day. We get to know how He lived His life and go and be an ambassador for that.”
Whether you’re waiting on a breakthrough, a relationship or a sense of purpose, Kamela offers a message of encouragement: “Some of God’s best work is done in seasons just like this… You are not alone. Jesus is your reward.”
