Isaiah 40:31

... but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Next to the "valley of death" verse in Psalm 23, this may be the most famous "walking verse" in the Hebrew Scriptures. The word which translates "wait" doesn't mean we're to be passive, and do nothing until God does. It is an active term, and connotes we're to walk on in confidence, knowing God will not desert us. Our faith, regardless of circumstance, is an active faith.
