*Pray your request to God

Philippians 4:6 (NIV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

*Have Faith God will grant your request

Matthew 17:20 (NKJ) So Jesus said to them, “… for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”

*Wait on God’s answer however long it takes

Psalm 27:14 (KJV) Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

*The result is always perfect

James 1:17 (NIV) “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows”

Waiting on the Lord is a hard thing to do. We pray for help and want immediate results. If they don’t come quickly, we're tempted to pick our problem back up. My experience is when you think all is lost, wait just awhile longer. God never lets us down.
