When we pray for our drams to come to pass, we want them to be fulfiller immediately. But we have to understand, God has an appointed time to answer our prayers and to bring our dreams to pass. And the truth is, no matter how badly we want it sooner, no matter how much we pray and plead with God, it is not going to change His appointed time. It is still going to happen on God’s timetable.

No, we all have to wait patiently. That is a part of learning to trust God. They key is, how are we going to wait? What will be our physical, emotional and spiritual demeanor? Are we going to wait with a good attitude and expectancy, knowing that God has great things in store? Or are we going to be upset, frustrated and muttering complaints? God, You never answer my prayers. When is my situation ever going to change?
If you know you have to wait anyway, why not make a decision to enjoy your life while you are waiting? Why not be happy while God is in the process of changing things? We might as well relax and enjoy our lives, knowing that at appointed time God is going to bring His plan to pass.
