Patience. We all want it, but none of us want to work for it. Seasons of waiting generally test our patience. Are you able to stay the course and wait for God’s best every time, or are you like most people and sometimes fall victim to restlessness and race ahead of God? What are the dangers of taking matters into our own hands and abandoning the call to wait on the Lord? In this final session, we will examine what’s at stake when we fail to surrender to God’s timeline, and we’ll discover the path of redemption for when we stray.

When you’ve waited as long as you think you can stand, have you ever wanted to throw your hands up and scream, “What’s the point?!” We all have. Seasons of unfulfilled longing can frustrate us—especially when we don’t see an end in sight or we don’t understand the delay. But waiting is part of God’s plan for mankind. What’s the purpose? How does God use the interval periods of life for his glory? In this week’s lesson, we’ll examine how trusting God’s timeline and plan can deepen our faith and have kingdom impact to the world.
