1. Sometimes, when we're waiting for God, He's waiting for us.
He's waiting for us to seek His presence more than His presents. Enjoying His presence exceeds any other presents. He is so beautiful, holy, loving, and faithful! Let's relax in His loving arms. Let’s personally possess and confess
2. Avoid mislabeling opportunities.
Fully convinced, I’ve been known to say that the timing is “divine” when it’s actually…mine. Relate? I thought so. Just because we name it God’s doesn’t mean we can blame Him when it falls through. Think of it this way: If you grab your cell phone and file the wrong number with the right name, you’ll always call the wrong number. (Trust me: It happened to me once. Embarrassing! At least, I can laugh about it now!) Don’t blame the phone. Just rename it and move on.

3. Make a 180° perspective change on waiting.
Waiting never wastes time. It enhances life here and reaps rewards hereafter. (A friend's Facebook status sums it up so well: "The longer the wait, the more beautiful the reward.")

4. Expect the best after the test.
Let’s thank God that He’s apparently planned something better than expected.

5. Waiting on God means watching Him, not our watch.
Things never take longer than He expected. "If we knew what God knows, we would do exactly what He does."

6. While waiting on God, let’s get busy as His waiters and waitresses.
Being busy with His work makes time fly by. Let’s love with action while we wait for God’s action! We don’t have to sit around collecting dust. Instead, we can trust God and be active as His followers.

7. For every request, God knows what's best.
Let’s stop worrying and start living like we believe we’ll receive God’s best in the end. Sometimes we worry too much about our prayer request,being unsure of what the results maybe. But God knows exactly what, when, how, why, to do it!

8. Jesus remains loving, true, and perpetually punctual, too!
So, while you wait, repeat Romans 8:28.
Our Maker mapped our DNA. He mapped our pathway. And He paved the Way!In fact, if your life were a movie, you'd receive a guaranteed happy ending! Ephesians 3:20 nails it:

When it comes to trusting God, don't hesitate. He's never late. Today, I fall at His feet and deeply thank Him for how He used my waiting. Guess what? In the end, you’ll be doing the exact same thing. God guarantees it!
