Note: Many times we fail and bring hurt upon ourselves, because we are not patient and we fail to wait on God for what we should do or say. Let us not give up though the trials seem hard and it appears that prayers are not being answered. God is an all wise God and if we wait on Him, He will always answer at the right time. His promises are sure, but we must learn to develop patience and wait on Him.
