When you understand that everything serves His plan, you won't live frustrated by things that aren't fair, stressed over things you don't like, upset because it's taking too long.

Be comfortable not knowing. Quit being worried over what you can't figure out. God has you in the palm of His plan.

something like this: "Father, I thank You that I have Your favor. Your favor is opening doors of opportunity. Your favor is bringing success into my life. Your favor is causing people to want to help me." Then go out with confidence, expecting good things to happen, expecting doors to open for you that may not open for somebody else, knowing that you have an advantage. There's something special about you. You have the favor of God.

Sometimes your family will not be your biggest cheerleader. They may not encourage you. You've got to listen to what God's telling you and not to what other people may tell you. People will try to talk you out of the dream in your heart.

Don't use your energy to worry; use your energy to believe.

Be wary of people who play up to your weaknesses as a way to convince you that you need them in your life. They'll try to make you think you're not smart enough on your own. You're not talented enough, and you need them to make up for what you're lacking. Don't believe those lies.

When you keep your vision in front of you, that's your faith being released. That's why the scripture uses such strong language that says people perish for lack of vision. That means dreams die when you don't have vision. If you can't see what God has put in your heart, then you'll miss the incredible things God wants to do.

God has the final say. He wouldn't have put the dream in your heart or given you that promise if He didn't have a way to bring it to pass.

God is in complete control. He knows the end from the beginning. God knows what you will need a week from now, a month from now, even ten years from now. And the good news is He's already taking care of you.

This is what faith is all about. You got to believe it before you see it. God's favor is surrounding you like a shield. Every setback is a setup for a comeback. Every bad break, every disappointment, and every person who does you wrong is part of the plan to get you to where you're supposed to be.

What am I saying? Don't complain about that person who betrayed you. If they walked away, they didn't set you back; they set you up. If that had not happened, you wouldn't get to where you're supposed to be. If they overlooked you, tried to push you down, and lied about you, it may not have been fair, but nothing happens by accident. If God allowed it, He knows how to use it for your good.

When you know the time has been set, you'll have a peace.
