We humans are impatient and want everything right now, but we must wait for God to do what He has planned for us.\u00a0 He is never late and always finishes what he starts.\u00a0 Although it may seem He is slow to act, he is not slow to act.\u00a0 Instead, he is doing things at the right time, when they need to be done.<\/p>\n<p>While waiting for God to act on our behalf, we should not be anxious but have faith in our hearts.\u00a0 Having faith in our hearts will give us peace and releases us from anxiety and feelings of despair.<\/p>\n<p>When \u201cGod\u2019s time\u201d finally arrives, we will know what He has planned for our lives and what he has done for us.\u00a0 He will lead us to participate in his plan for our lives.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>There have been many times I wanted God to answer me now and thought God had abandoned me.\u00a0 When I was married to a very abusive monster and could not find a way out of the relationship, I prayed constantly.\u00a0 I thought for sure He had forgotten about insignificant me and did not care to help me.\u00a0 But He did, in His time.\u00a0 My heart was definitely ready to receive His blessings when they came to me, so maybe it took a long time to prepare my heart to appreciate what He would do for me.<\/p>\n<p>If you are waiting for something to happen in your life, be patient.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Who should you be blaming?<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">An easy strategy to prevent unnecessary bills.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Give a child this gift if you want him to be successful.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">You can\u00a0get the emergency cash you need without a loan!<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/\" slimstat=\"5\">Amazon.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want things now but are not getting them, this post is for you!
