Hebrews 6:13-15 (CEV)13 No one is greater than God. So he made a promise in his own name when he said to Abraham, 14 “I, the Lord, will bless you with many descendants!” 15 Then after Abraham had been very patient, he was given what God had promised.

Let's face it instant gratification is addictive and as a result patience is a area that many us struggle with. The problem with instant gratification is we rob ourselves of trusting God and his timing. You may be praying for a spouse , new home or a job and time has passed and nothing seems to be happening.
This is the time when you need to trust Gods process; Ask God what you need to learn in the season, what are areas in your life that you need to grow in before my prayers come to fruition. Keep in mind that " not now" doesn't mean that what you've prayed for will never happen. Anything worth having comes with a process to get there God has to sort somethings out in your heart. Ask yourself this: Is your hope is in him, are you totally reliant on Him or is all your focus tied into the thing you're praying for.
God hasn't forgotten you, He is developing you for the next chapter in your life. The only thing you have to gain by rushing things and attempting to make things happen on your own is arriving unprepared and underdeveloped. What's the point of having all that you want but not knowing how to maintain it?
Begin to shift your focus from your wants to the one that holds you in the palm of His hands. Continue to believe, follow Gods lead and not only will your patience be rewarded but you'll be fully equipped to move forward and maintain your blessings.
Love,
