Fighting and resisting the timing of God is equivalent to fighting and resisting His will for our lives. God is working, often in ways we cannot see, to bring His plans to pass in our lives in the best possible ways. We simply need to trust Him as we wait for the arrival of our dreams.

Pray and ask God to give you new confidence to meet these challenges.

A masterpiece is never created in a hurry.

Trusting God means believing He lives in you, and all that is His is yours. Be strong and courageous and never give up, and you will have everything He wants you to have in life.

God won't let you down. He will bring justice; He will pay you back for what you have lost or missed out on. While you wait, be thankful and know that God's timing in your life will be perfect.

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Trust in Him Next time the wind blows and the waves crash, take the big life decisions off the table (where you're going to live, your job, your relationships, etc.) and wait. Once the storm passes, trust God to show you what He wants you to do.

It is rather the conviction that God will not quit until God has arrived at God's good intention.

Ivan and Willis, watching as Sadie panted, stood up, and then lay down again. "It won't be long now." Willis's eyes sparkled. He was no doubt excited, even though this was probably old hat for him.

She's her mother's daughter - full of courage, determination, and strength she doesn't even know she has.

God's call to faithfulness can sometimes be a summons to be still and wait. There is a creative waiting as well as a creative acting.

Poise can seem like a superficial posture, almost like one is acting as if everything is okay when things really aren't. I believe true poise goes much deeper and is a reflection of what we really believe inside of us. Paul's confidence in the goodness of God was so strong and sure that not even an empty belly threw him off his game. He was content whatever. I know my God is good, and I want to show that to the world, whatever.
