What you lack is patience...and that is caused by your desire to have those desires met now and not on God's schedule. God teaches us patience through tribulation...through trouble and disappointment. The longer we resist acceptance of his timing and therefore his will...the more disappointment we receive...to teach us the lesson...and therefore the longer we wait for his answers. Surrender to his will saying to him...Ok God...whatever you do is for my good in whatever time and truly meaning it...and therefore accepting his will frees him to move. My precious girl...understand this is not about your desires to God...he could grant them instantly if he wanted to. This is about your relationship with him...your trusting him, your acceptance of him as the sovereign king...and I have learned that he will keep us at a stopping point until that lesson is learned again and again until he can trust US to accept HIS will. I encourage you to meditate on these principles...perhaps starting with the words...your will not mine Lord...so that God may grow you to the point that he can bless you with the desires of your heart. May you receive the richness of those blessings...In Jesus name...Amen!

It's true... my patience is very lacking... and it seems the more I lose patience from time to time, the harder it is to wait and it seems I have to wait even longer... Maybe if I had the patience, maybe God would have granted them quicker... maybe I should just have more patience... Sometimes I think it's going to take forever and a day for these to be granted since these are very big desires, not small ones, in my opinion. It is in His timing, not mine... and I know to accept that. All I can do is keep pray and believing they will come true... and I shouldn't worry on how long... because who knows, it can happen tomorrow or within another hour... it'll happen sooner than I think... and I believe all will be granted 100-fold and for all to come true.
