Patience – Essential to Experiencing God’s Best

Patience is a virtue we all respect—that is, until we have to exercise it in our own lives. In this message, Dr. Stanley lays out the truth plainly: Patience is indispensable to our ability to obey God and receive His best for us. It may feel excruciating to wait upon the Lord, but that’s exactly when He renews our strength (Isaiah 40:31). Discover why you can trust God’s perfect timing.

God’s Messages

Our Bodies WILL be made whole & sickness WILL flee. Marriages and relationships WILL be restored. Family members WILL find Jesus. Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….

When you trusted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, immediately, the Holy Spirit came into your life to seal you as a child of God.
That’s the reason we know that we are eternally secure.
It is his work and not our conduct that makes us acceptable to God.
And in the process of doing so when I think about that, I think about the fact that the Holy Spirit seal us and equipped us to do whatever he’s called us to do.
Many people will live out their life in church, baptized early in life, heard lots and lots of sermons and will never understand that God never intended for them to live the Christian life.
He didn’t. He intended for them to allow the Holy Spirit who lives within them to live out the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So we are not only equipped of salvation.
He’s equipped us to do whatever he’s called us, to do whatever He’s whatever he has made us to be and made us to do.
So when you think about your life and you think about the challenges you face.
Remember this, that you are already empowered by the Holy spirit to live in the face, any situation, any circumstance of life, he didn’t just save us and let us get along the best we can.
So when you think about your life and you think about things you face, when you face difficulties, would you say that you’re a patient person?
And the truth is, all of us probably have errors of our life that it’s difficult for us to stand by or hold back what we think of what we’d like to do.
But patience is a gift from God, but it isn’t something we work up.
It is the gift of God through the Holy Spirit.
When you were saved, he sealed you as one of his Children and he began to release in your life if you will allow Him the fruit of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience.
And so that’s what I wanna talk about.
I wanna talk about this whole issue of how essential it is that you and I experience God’s patience in our life because it affects every single thing we do.
Timing is absolutely essential in almost every area of life.
And so when we have the Holy Spirit living within us, sometimes he’s gonna say mm mm mm mm mm no or he may say not now or he may say tomorrow or whatever, but God gave us a compass, the Holy Spirit.
He gave us a sense of direction of the Holy Spirit so that you and I would not have to go through life just making up our mind and making decisions that oftentimes we would regret.
So I wanna talk about this whole idea of patience and because the scripture says that’s the gift of the spirit.
So how many of you know, you are saved? Raise your hand.
OK, hold them up now, you know, you’re saved.
All right, how many of you know that you have the Holy Spirit in dwelling here?
Well, that same one should raise your hand because if you got saved, then you have the Holy Spirit there.
And one of his primary objectives is to enable us to walk patiently in our Christian life.
So listen to this Psalm 27 verse 14.
Wait for the Lord be strong and let your heart take courage. Yes. Wait for the Lord.
Or why would he say that? Because the wait for the Lord.
Sometimes we have to be strong and we have to take courage because sometimes pressures are there for us to make decisions in our life, husbands and wives, families, business, whatever it might be.
He says, wait in the 37th psalm in the seventh verse, he says three times, rest in the Lord in this passage, rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him.
Do not fret. So I would ask you how many of you fret?
Well, I got five honest people here this morning. Well, why do we fret?
We fret because we don’t feel the freedom to move ahead or we don’t feel the freedom to buy this or go there and do that or have this relationship.
And so we fret because we don’t have God’s approval, but God doesn’t give us his approval because it’s not best.
The 40th psalm says, I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined to me and heard my prayer.
Look at that. I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined to me, he bent to, he heard what I was talking to him about and he answered my petition.
So patience is very important in every aspect of life. So how would you define patience?
If somebody said, well, explain it, just define patience for me. What would you say?
It’s the quiet, uncomplaining, endurance under distress or annoyance, long tempered. So ask yourself the question.
Are you quiet and uncomplaining when things don’t go your way?
And uh let me give you the simplest definition of patience.
Listen to this patience is the will to wait. That’s all you need to know.
Patience is the will to wait. That is situations come our way. We have to make decisions.
And yet there are times when we don’t know what to do at times when God gives us a check in our spirit and we have to make a decision.
Will I wait for God’s direction or will I not? Most people don’t want to wait.
They want God to act on their timetable. Think about this. We would acknowledge that God’s omni He knows everything.
We would acknowledge that He knows all about us. We would acknowledge that He knows what’s best for us.
And yet we come to those situations where God tells us to wait and we don’t want to wait.
And so we come up with all the reasons why we shouldn’t have to wait.
We look at other people and they have this and they have that and why should, why should we have to wait?
Because God in His infinite love and power for us knows that at certain times in our life, certain things don’t fit.
That is God created us to do what to live for Him to serve him and to reflect Him.
He, he, he, he created us to live out the life that He’s placed within us whenever I want something he doesn’t want me to have and I insist on having it.
I’m being impatient whenever we push God. Well, Lord, I’ve, I’ve waited long enough.
It’s time, it’s time for me to have what I want. Watch this.
God is your greatest protector when he says, no, listen, don’t think about it as, as God rejecting you.
It’s God doing what protecting you. When God says, no, it’s a world of protection.
We oftentimes think, well, God, if you, if you love me, you let me have this, that and the other, it’s the will to wait.
No. Doesn’t mean that you won’t get angry.
Sometime all of us probably at times have said, well, Lord, why not?
Now when God says, no, he has a divine specific reason for saying no, that is to our benefit.
And so oftentimes we say, well, I don’t know why we have to pray about this.
This is a simple thing. And that’s what I’ve discovered over the years that oftentimes those simple little things is often times a trap, a trap, Satan lays out before us because God has a will for our life.
He has the best plan and he knows exactly how to enable us to walk through that plan.
If I insist on having what I want before, I should have it or who I want before I should have it or whatever it might be, then I’m just asking for trouble and this is why many people are in trouble financially, they’re in trouble in their marriages, they’re in trouble, all kind of circumstances, situation in the business, whatever.
Because instead of waiting to ask for God’s direction and waiting, they gotta have it.
Now, we have a whole society of people that are so sexually oriented because they gotta have it now.
You gotta have, you gotta have it now.
And as a result, we have a society that’s so corrupt in so many ways and much of which is because nobody wants to wait for what they want.
If you have to get in debt over your head.
No, you can’t ever pay it off, but you gotta have it. Now. You do it in a way.
They live in bigger houses for six months or a year and can’t stay in there.
They buy a big car, can’t keep it very long.
They buy clothes and take them back after they’ve worn them three months and on and on.
They go and so they make decisions that are not God’s decisions.
So ask yourself the question, would you say that you are a patient person?
Now, just think about the moment, would you say that you’re a patient person that is that you calmly tolerate the delays that God places in your life when he says no, you come to him for something that you believe is the will of God for your life.
You ask him about it and yet watch this. Here’s what happens.
You ask the Lord about it and you don’t hear anything and you ask him about it and uh you, you don’t hear anything.
And so you say, well, God, well, it must be ok because God, God didn’t tell me, I couldn’t, don’t ever go that route if you say I’m gonna do this because God hasn’t told me I shouldn’t.
What about waiting for God to tell you that you should.
And so we can, we can manipulate the word and we can manipulate circumstances in order to justify our own desires when oftentimes they are handicaps in their life.
They’re the seeds of destruction in our life because we’re not willing to wait for God.
Listen, would you agree that God loves you? Would you agree to that? Say? Amen.
Well, some of you do. Some of you don’t. God does love you.
Let me ask you a question. You love your Children.
Come on now, do you love your Children? Ok.
If they ask you for something that you know, that’s gonna hurt them, do you wanna give it to them?
Well, why do you expect God to do that?
You ask God for something and sometimes God says no, then here’s what you do.
Often times people say, I’m gonna get the scriptures, find out what God says.
I, I’ve heard this so many times and so they go in the Psalms and the Proverbs or somewhere and they’ll, they’ll look around, they’ll find the passage.
It says, uh uh let’s see here.
Now they’re look and look and look and uh um they’ll say, well, surely what God must be saying something to me and they’ll find Him a verse that says that they can interpret that.
God says yes. And they say God told me I can do it. That’s not the way God operates.
Listen to this. When you were saved, the holy Spirit sealed you as a child of God lives within you 24 hours a day.
One of the primary purposes, having, having written your name in the lamb’s book of Life had been sealed you as a child of God forever.
He lives within you to direct you to give direction for your life.
The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, and patience. That’s part of what He does in our life.
So you have within you the absolute truth, the right compass, the one who’s gonna give you the right direction.
Every single time you ask him, that’s who He is because God knows how complicated life is.
He didn’t just leave us here apart from the spirit.
He told his disciples, he says, sit down in the city of Jerusalem until you be indued with power from on high.
You can’t live out the life I’ve given you without the Holy Spirit. And so that’s exactly what they did.
They waited till he came and entered them.
When you were saved, the Holy Spirit came into your life sealed you as a child of God.
You’re always a child of God.
You can’t be lost once by the blood of Jesus, you can’t be lost, but you can certainly mess up your life but not listening to the Holy Spirit who came to live within.
You get to give direction and guidance and clarity in every single aspect of your life.
So when you think about that and you think about situations and circumstances that you face and you ask yourself the question, am I willing to calmly accept whatever God says?
We don’t question God on the one hand until we want something really bad.
And then we say, well, my God, what about so?
And so now think about this, you have the privilege to ask God about everything. Everything does God care? Yes.
Is he willing to answer? Yes? He’s that kind of God.
He’s given you the indwelling person of the Holy Spirit in order to give direction, protect you, keep you from making wrong decisions, giving you patience and guidance and direction in every circumstance of life.
If you listen to Him, God loves you enough to give you clear direction.
Should you marry this person or should you not? You don’t make a decision by looking at Him.
You don’t make a decision by hearing about them.
You don’t make a decision by what family they came from.
You don’t make a decision about any of those things. You make a decision.
What’s the will of God you say?
Well, is God interested in, in who I marry or what I do and look, yes, he is because he’s interested in all of our relationships.
He’s interested in our relationship to him primarily.
And if I keep that relationship right, I’ll have my other relationships right in life.
So patients patience is critical.
Listen to what he says, the fruit of the spirit that is you can expect the Holy Spirit to express himself in the following ways, love, joy, peace, patience so that you have the one living within you willing to direct you in every circumstance of life.
So let’s think about it for a moment. What’s, what, what’s required of us to have patience.
We have requirements and um I’ve been a Christian for 73 years and you know what, God has never misled me.
Have I always made the right decision. No, I haven’t.
But you know what, every single time if I made the wrong decision, I had to face it.
You, you try to get my attention. I wasn’t listening.
And after a while you learn that never pays and you follow His will, you walk in his way.
So what requirements do I have in my life if I’m going to be patient?
First of all, I, I gotta have faith in God, have faith in God to believe that He will direct me every single time, whatever I need whatever direction because he promised to do.
So. Second, I must have the spirit of obedience.
If I have an obedient spirit, I choose to obey God, I may, I may falter in that by, by missing it somehow.
But the Holy Spirit is there to enable us to give us guidance, to do what to follow him.
Then of course, here’s what’s happening.
The discernment of God’s timing, the Holy Spirit will show us when oftentimes we will ask him for something that’s not his will at the moment.
It’s not his plan right now, but his plan later.
And what we have to do is to be wise enough to say, ok, God, if it’s not your will or if it’s not your will now give me the grace to wait until you give me permission to have or to go or whatever it might be.
Then if I’m gonna be patient, I’ve gotta love God.
If I don’t love God, I’m not gonna be patient. If I don’t love him, I want it. Now.
If I don’t love him, I want things to, to work out the way I want them when I want them.
And yet if I’m gonna be patient, I’ve got to love him.
That was if I love him, I will be patient if somebody says I love God. But no, there’s no.
But if I love him, I will be patient. If I don’t love him, I don’t trust him.
I, I, I won’t be patient. So ask yourself the question.
Would you be considered by your husband, your wife, your friends, people you work with?
Do they see you as a patient person? Now, there are only two answers. Yes or no.
Yes, they do. No, they don’t. And that’s because of your conduct, your conversation and your character around them.
If I love myself. If I love things, if I love other people more than I love God, I’m gonna satisfy myself.
But God wants the best for his Children.
That’s not a single person who can say Well, God doesn’t want the best for me. Yes, he does.
Well, if he did, he’d have given me her or him or this or that.
No, the reason he didn’t give you that is because He does love you because God’s love for us has no limitations.
And that love is so powerful that God will say no.
When He knows that what we want is not of Him. He’s gonna make it known to us.
Now, when you pray and you ask for God for something, and God gives you this uneasy feeling and you say, well, you know what?
That’s just my feelings. Let me ask you a question.
What do you expect God to do when you ask Him for something?
And he says, no, what do you expect Him to do?
Go a in other words, what, what does God have to do to say? No?
Should it not be the impression of your heart? Should it not be that you’re listening to Him?
And you have this very uneasy feeling.
If you want to know how God says no, a very strong uneasy feeling, sometimes even a scary feeling.
If it’s that critical, that critical, he will give you a scary feeling if you’re heading in the wrong direction.
Why? Because He wants the best for us?
And I think about people, if I, if we, if we love God, we want to obey Him and many people love God until He requires of them something they don’t want or deprives them of something they do want.
And I think about all the people who get married who never ask for God’s leadership, never ask for God’s guidance.
They make big purchases. Not after asking God, they make relationships, not, not the will of God, but they make, they, they make relationships that fit them for the moment and say, well, you know, oh God.
God understands God is living within us for our own good and to give us guidance and direction in every aspect of life.
Think of anything that you ask God about that. He, that He won’t answer. He may not say yes.
But if you ask the Lord for direction, God will give you direction for your life because He loves us unconditionally.
And he sent the Holy Spirit to make his answers very clear.
And He’s waiting for us often time to ask Him, Lord, what should I do about this?
What, what, what, what, which direction should I go in this? Should I buy this or should I not?
Should I date this person or should I not? Should I get in this business? Or should I not?
In other words, God is always available to give clear direction for our life.
Now, we read all kinds of promises to answer prayer, trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge Him.
He’ll direct your path. We read that and do what?
Because God doesn’t direct us the way we wanna be directed. We just ignore the passage. Watch this carefully.
You cannot as a follower of Jesus follow the word of God.
Only at times when you’re looking for something that agrees with you.
You know, people say, well, I’m, I’m gonna find your passage. Well, you can find the passage.
What about the one that talked about?
God oftentimes turning a strong hand against us, our heart is to be bent toward Him.
We’re to listen to Him for our own good. We listen to Him.
The fruit of the spirit is patience, willing, willing to wait long when necessary.
So you ask yourself if that’s true, that takes courage to be obedient to God.
It, it takes courage uh to be to be patient because sometimes, and I can look back in my life at times and I thought, well, Lord, I’m coming to the edge over here and if you don’t do something soon, I’m gonna, I’m gonna fall off the edge.
What do you know who’s on the other side of the edge? Almighty?
God, you’re not gonna fall off the edge.
There are times when God will let us get very, very close to what we think is an ultimate unchangeable desperation, but he’s always there.
He’s a God of love of direction, guidance and counsel in our life.
It takes courage to trust him and simply said, I have to be determined to wait.
Now, I could give you a lot of illustrations of people over the years that I’ve counseled to wait about something they were going to purchase, whether about something in their marriage, wait about something about their Children or young people about decisions they’re making about college and so forth.
Every single time that I can recall when a person heard Godly counsel and chose to do it their way, it never ended the way they intended.
You know what? Because God wants the best for us.
And he says, I will guide you and teach you in the way in which you should go watch this.
We started off by saying patience is the fruit of the spirit.
It’s a gift from God, which means that you have within you the capacity to make wise choices.
The fruit of the spirit is patience.
The spirit of God will exercise patience in you for you to you through you and your behalf because that’s the will of God for us that we follow His will walk in his way.
And God knows that there are difficult times and difficult situations that we face and sometimes we don’t know what to do.
He’s there to show us what to do. If you’re a follower of Jesus.
If you’re a Christian, if you’ve, if you’ve trusted God in your life, he’s our savior you have within you, the ultimate, ultimate, ultimate, ultimate counselor for every single solitary situation in life.
He will direct you. God would not withhold truth from you. He’s not gonna withhold wise counsel from you.
If you don’t have wise counsel, it’s because you not ask him.
He’s why because He loves you unconditionally. He wants the best for you no matter what.
So the fruit of the spirit is patience.
That is we have it within us if we’ll listen to him.
So ask yourself the question if patience is the will to wait, do I have the will to wait?
You too. I don’t know what you’re facing in life, but you don’t have any peace about it.
You don’t know why you don’t have the peace about it. Are you willing to wait?
And oftentimes the question is, well, how long have I got to wait until God in his wisdom and loves tells you what to do.
That’s how long you wait. And so if you’re sitting here today and you’re planning on marrying somebody and you don’t have no peace about it, you don’t want to hear this.
You’re getting ready to buy the house and you know, in your heart, you can’t afford it.
You don’t want to hear this.
And I could just go right down the line because patience is not a, it’s not a popular subject.
You know why I tell you why?
Because we want what we want, when we want it, how we want it, that’s it.
And when we can’t have it we don’t want anybody telling us why we can’t. I understand that.
Jesus said the same thing when he, when he talked, uh people didn’t want, didn’t want to hear some of the things he said, but that’s OK.
So let’s think about it for a moment.
Why do we say that patience is essential to experiencing God’s best?
Number one, it’s essential to a life of obedience to God.
If I’m gonna obey God, I gotta listen to him.
I must hear him and I must obey Him.
If I’m gonna obey God, I must be willing to give up my own personal desires and opinions at times.
In order to do what he says, that’s God, loving me, watch this, whatever you’re going through and you’re praying about it and, and, and God says no to you, watch this when He says no to you.
What does He say? Here’s what he’s saying. I love you. God’s know is I love you.
Yes. And somebody says, well, no, when God says no to me, I get angry. No.
When God says no. He’s saying I love you then think about this.
It’s essential to building a good relationship with other people. That is patience.
If you’re gonna have good friends, you have to be patient with them.
And I don’t need you to tell you that if you’re married, you have to have patience, patience with each other, wherever you are to have patience.
It is not only a gift of God.
It’s a requirement to be able to get along in life with your Children, with your husband, with your wife.
If you live with somebody who has no patience, that is a very, very difficult situation.
All of us need to express patience and all of us need to be able to express that patience to other people because other people make mistakes.
Sometimes when somebody will tell me, well, I’ve prayed about this and God said yes.
When I know and know God’s word, he would never say yes to that. So what do you do?
You turn them off? No, you do your best to help people understand when you, when you see for example, one of your Children a grand, you’re heading in the wrong direction.
What do you say? Do you say nothing or do you try to counsel them for what you know, as an adult is a wise decision?
If you just say, well, they’ll get along the best they can. God has given you wisdom.
He’s, he’s given you counsel in life to give to other people.
And so we had to share God’s direction and share illustrations in our own life with other people who are facing things.
We can all get impatient if we’re not careful, but you notice something impatience never cures anything.
It doesn’t you have within you, the Holy Spirit who will give you clear direction about anything in your life you’re concerned about anything, any relationship, whatever it might be.
And think about this timing is so very important.
Timing is important in sports and important in finances, important in relationships, important in war, important in photography, timing is very important.
God is always there within you as a follow up, Jesus have your Holy Spirit within you there to give you clear direction in any and every circumstance of life.
If you’re willing to wait for him, wait upon the Lord.
Does he give you clear direction? Immediately? Oftentimes He will.
But a major decision in your life, you may have to wait until God tells you what to do.
Are you willing to wait?
Do you treasure the wisdom of God? Do you value the wisdom of God?
Do you prize the wisdom of God?
Do you desire the wisdom of God enough to wait until He makes it very clear what you should do.
And I’ve seen so many people make decisions that they knew they shouldn’t have made.
But here’s what I hear. Oftentimes, well, I waited for three months. Well, I waited for six months.
I waited for two weeks. I waited and waited and waited. Nothing ever happened.
So, so what so I did my own thing. God loves us.
He only wants the best for us when God says, wait, here’s what you listen to. I’m loving you.
That’s what He’s doing. He’s loving us when He tells us to wait.
Remember we said it’s simply patience is simply the willingness to wait.
And when we wait, we see God at work.
And oftentimes, I’ve, I’ve watched this in my own life, having to wait and wait and wait about something and then watch God finally bring it to a conclusion over and over and over again.
My response has been thank you Jesus. Thank you. Thank you, dear God that I waited.
Thank you Jesus that I didn’t step ahead of you.
Most people today probably are unhappy because they have refused to wait upon God for direction about something in their life.
Many of them don’t even know that they can ask him.
Many of them do not believe that he would answer them.
And yet they’re living in this haphazard frame of reference that I gotta make up my mind about this, make up my mind about that.
What should I do about this?
Listen, the last thing you wanna do is ask somebody who’s in trouble, what you ought to do because that’s not what you’re gonna get a good answer or if you want to live a Godly life, you don’t ask somebody who’s living an ungodly life.
What you ought to do? You ask someone who’s living a life of obedience to God if you need to ask someone, but listen to this, don’t forget this God Almighty is willing to speak to you personally, either through His word or through somebody else or through the circumstance.
He’s willing to show you what you should do.
You don’t have to live in doubt and fear and uncertainty, making decisions, sort of scatter brain decisions.
Well, here’s what I’m gonna do and I hope it’ll work out.
I would never say that I’m gonna make this decision and I hope it works out. No.
God is clear enough that you can be absolutely certain. And until you’re certain they’ll move.
A lot of people are in deep trouble today because they didn’t wait.
How many times have I talked to people who are married? Who said to me?
I know I shouldn’t have done that. Why did you do it?
Well, they give me some reason or I made this decision in my life and I never thought about asking God what I want you to see is one simple thing, God loves you.
He created you. He has a purpose for your life. You may not know what the purpose is.
You may have lived two thirds of your life and never even asked God about anything.
But I’m telling you, he loved you. He saved you.
He has a purpose for your life, a plan for your life.
And he will make it clear if you will ask him and relax.
Don’t push him in other words. You say, well, I, I, I’ve waited two weeks.
That’s long enough. That’s long enough from your finite mind. It’s not long enough. Watch this.
Let me ask you a question is God perfect. Say amen. Yeah. Well, is he late?
Then? Why don’t we wait for him?
If, if we say he’s perfect and he’s not late, then if I’m waiting, I’m on time.
I’m waiting until God says this is the moment I’m telling you with all of my heart, you can never lose.
Never, never, never. If I were about 25 years old and telling you that you forget it.
I can tell you at 85 you never lose.
And I’ve been in some of the toughest situations, very difficult situations, traumatic situations, never, never, never, never lose, waiting up on God.
And I can remember one occasion and the pressure was on from every direction.
And I thought, well, Lord, I live this long, trusting you.
I’m gonna trust you now, I’m not, I’m not budging until you tell me to budge worked out perfect.
That’s the way God works.
He you say just because you don’t feel God’s love doesn’t mean He doesn’t love you.
And I know there’s some people said again, you think? Well, I don’t feel God loves me.
If He doesn’t love me, why would he direct me? He does love you.
He will direct you but you have to surrender to Him. The willingness to wait. Are you willing?
Well, listen to this. Are you willing to wait for omniscience? All knowing God?
Are you willing to wait for omnipotent all powerful God? Are you willing to wait for this?
All loving God to give you direction, guidance for your life.
You can never go wrong, listening to him, obey him, trusting Him. You can never go wrong.
Then why not? Trust him?
Listen to him, wait for Him and watch to see what happens.
Well, if you’ve never trusted Jesus as your savior, none of us will work won’t work.
And so I simply say this to you.
You will struggle through life and make many mistakes and end up in a disaster without Christ in your life.
But if you’re willing to ask Him to forgive you of your sins, surrender your life to him, you have this awesome eternal omnipotent asset, the Holy Spirit giving guidance, direction and perfect timing.
If you listen to him and I’m gonna encourage you.
If you are not saved, you never trusted Christ settle this issue and let the Lord Jesus Christ become the master of your life.
Life is gonna change. Listen, don’t live a life outside the will of God because to do so is to live outside the blessing of God, Father.
We love you and praise you and thank you that you never make a mistake. Always perfect.
Your timing is perfect to the second. Ok?
We pray the Holy Spirit will speak to every single person here that we all examine ourselves a fresh and new about the degree of patience we have or do not have.
You know who’s seated right here right now, who’s facing a decision this afternoon tomorrow, sometime this week, uh before the week is over major decision in their life.
God, I pray that you give them wisdom enough to wait until they hear clearly from you what they should do and to be confident that you will always give them clear guidance and everything.
We love him, we praise you for it. Father in Jesus name.
Amen.
