Everyone is ex- cited about the trip. Snacks, games, movies are prepared for the kids to enjoy. Each person is anticipating having a great time. However, as time goes by, the kids begin to get antsy. Then, you hear the famous question, "Are we there yet?" It seems like every few minutes the chil- dren are asking that same question. It really becomes annoying to the adults that the children or youth can't discern that sometimes it takes time to arrive at a des- tination; there are no shut cuts. Just like our children, sometimes we start com- plaining about the journey we are on. Although we are headed in the right direction and will end up at a wonder- ful destination of victory, we get weary. The Bible encourages us to finish and be patient. Ecclesiastes 7:8 (ISV) says, "The conclusion of something is better than its beginning, and a patient attitude is more valuable than a proud one." Tips for the Journey The road that we travel can be filled with bumps, potholes and other obsta- cles. It can become frus- trating and scary. However, we must choose peace, by meditating on God's word, reminding ourselves of the many times he has brought us through other difficul- ties, and thanking God for what he has already done in our lives. Colossians 3:15 (AMP) says, "Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling fac- tor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]." Waiting on God doesn't mean doing nothing. It means to have an expec- tation for the manifestation of the promise, and move in faith. While you wait, spend time serving others, seeking God's will, and obeying his instructions. I remembe r when I prayed about being married. While I waited, I served in my local church and volunteered in outreach events for the community. While I was volunteering and focused on the Lord, I met my husband. Psalm 27:14 (AMP) says, "Wait for and confidently expect the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD." PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father, you are the God of endurance and encour- agement, I praise your holy name. Thank you for being good to me. Forgive me for wanting to rush through the process that you have set for me. I know that Christ has given me the victory in all things. Help me to stay fo- cused on your goodness and not doubt you in any way. You are the God of the im- possible. Lord, strengthen me to persevere and bring glory to your name. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you! Con- tact her at www.danyale.com to share a testimony, send a prayer request, or book her to speak. Are we there yet?
