“When doubt, unbelief fear and impatience sets is in, look to the cross and be reminded of Gods
covenant promise of blessings.”
•​FAITH and WAITING
The reason why we don’t want to wait:
-We don’t want to lose control of ourselves
“I WANT EVERYTHING NOW!!!”
“Its not our purpose and plans will prevail but God’s purpose and plans will prevail.”
“The length of our wait is not as important as what we’re doing while we wait.”
“We wait in the darkness for a flame we cannot light.We wait in fear for a happy ending that we
cannot write.”

“NEVER DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS BECAUSE IT WILL BRING YOU TO GREATER AND
BIGGER THINGS”

PERSPECTIVE OF GOD IN OUR LIVES”
“When waiting on God, it is important to realize ​impatience​ makes everything worse.”

4.WAITING TRANSFORMS OUR CHARACTER
“What God does in us while we wait is as important as what it is we’re waiting for.”
-When we wait,it makes us learn to trust God.
“When waiting on God,it is important to realize God values the fruit that grows in us while we
wait.”
“Work with God,not against God.”

promises.”
