Waiting on God in the midst of losing patience

Recently I received a blessing from God that I had been praying for, for what seemed like forever. At the point when I finally received it, I had given up on the hope of it ever happening. However, I kept focusing on Gods no’s are for our good and when he says yes he upholds us. I decided to remind myself every time I looked at my visual board that when God says no its for his purpose and not our own.

When I focused my attention on being content in my current situation regardless if it seemed like a struggle, I was able to pull myself out of what appeared to be resentment for God not seeing fit to answer my prayer. And when I literally least expected it, God decided it was my time. He worked out the details to be better than what I thought I wanted, and I was able to see again it truly was for my good.

I waited 9 years for this, and some of you have been waiting longer. But my prayer to you is perseverance through the hope that we must keep to the very end. Hope in Christ regardless our circumstances.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29: 11
