I believe that in the course of your life, you will go through or have gone through some situations like these:

• Lack of patience and not knowing how to wait.
• Lack of perseverance.
• Being short-sighted (as a result, wrong decisions were made).
• Wanting God to bless at any time or in any situation.

In the Word of God, in the book of Ecclesiastes, God teaches us that there will always be a right time for all things to happen in our lives.

But God's timing will not always be the timing we wish.

Eclesiastes 3:
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Many are discouraged in the midst of their struggles, thinking that God will not bless or that God is not listening to his prayers, but I tell you: GOD ALWAYS HEARS OUR PRAYERS.

The Bible says in the book of James, that if we ask something of God and we do not receive it, it is because we ask with wrong motives.

James 4:3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Knowing how to ask and knowing how to wait is a virtue of the Christian, and it shows faith in God and those who hope in the Lord will always achieve victory.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lordwill renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Trust the Lord, wait as long as it takes for God's answer to come, because the Lord is never late and He will always answer you.

Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

Desire first the presence of God in your life, seek the things that make God happy, because the other things will always be added.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Then YOU WILL HAVE A COMPLETELY BLESSED LIFE.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
