“It's never easy to wait, especially when we're longing for something with all our heart. If we look around and see no sign of god acting to resolve a situation, we may be tempted to come up with our own ideas to hurry the solution along. Our impatience may lead us to make choices that don't line up with God's will. We can find ourselves regretting the long-range consequences of an idea that seemed convenient and logical at the time. God asks us to prove our trust in him by surrendering to his plan and waiting for him to work in ways that he considers best. We may find it hard to wait patiently when nothing seems to be happening, but taking matters into our own hands apart from God's leading is always a terrible mistake.”
