What started in doubt and disbelief ends in joy and wonder. God can turn your doubts into wonder!

1. Wait For God’s timing:

God is more interested in what happens in you than what is happening around you.

2. Don’t take matters into your own hands.

Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we’re waiting.

“Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act” (Psalm 37:7 NLT).

3. God's plans are often bigger than our plans.

Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life. It is the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be alright, and it is the determined choice to praise and thank God in every situation.
