All in God's Time

Sometimes I struggle with praying to God for something, asking God for something or believing God for something and I feel myself losing patience and getting weary. Even when he has put it in my heart that it is his will.

Galatians 6:9
KJV
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
NLT
So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.

I've recently learned a few things. First and foremost, God's way is the only way and I have to always trust that God has my best interests at heart. I believe that sometimes we need to build faith or fix something that isn't inline with God's word before he we are able to receive our promise. When I was thinking about this the other day, God reminded me of those slider puzzles I use to play with when I was a kid. I loved those things and played for hours. You would slide the pieces around  to mix them up and then you would have to move them around in a specific order to either make the image again or put the numbers or letters in order as seen in the example I showed here. When God is going to do something for you, there may be certain, people, places and things he has to align just so in order to make it happen. He may have to work on someone's heart in order have them moved to do something for you or he may have to change circumstances in order to align you so you can walk into his promise. A slider puzzle is pretty simple in comparison to what God does. His intricate plan for all of us is intertwined and woven into a beautiful faith filled piece of fabric to which no demon can take away or destroy.

Hebrews 10:36
KJV
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
NLT
Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

So I keep staying in God's word, making sure to forgive everybody who has wronged me and praising God for all the wonderful things he has done in my life, That way I can stay focused and not lose patience.
