No one wants to enter into an extended period of waiting.  We exist in a world where we expect and want things now.  Yet I am blessed to have Christian friends who understand the true importance of God’s answer to many of our prayers: wait.  He is teaching us to rely on him and him alone – not on money or brains or any of the other talents He may have given us.

Whatever we have in life has come from God, and we know that He only wants the best for us.  This is why we can strive to wait for his best blessings in our lives as we faithfully grow in the process.  We know that God is teaching us through suffering.

I try to get through tough times by remembering to be obedient to God’s plan.  How do you get through life’s trials?
