Don’t forfeit Your blessings,Wait on God as He works!
We’ve discovered that patience is not only necessary as you wait upon God to work and to answer your prayers, but it is required. We’ve found that it does no good to be impatient if you think that God is either not working or not answering your prayers. No matter how things look, God is working and He will answer your prayers. Sometimes long wait times are God’s way of teaching you the patience you will need as you continue to walk with Him and expect larger and greater things from Him. So instead of being discouraged, disappointed, or distrustful, if you’ve grown impatient waiting on God, choose to have faith that God will make a way for you somehow!
