Doubt and Hope

Sometimes we pray for a prayer request for a long time, some are short waits but most are long. It can sometimes get discouraging or even cause doubt if we keep praying and praying and praying for the same request. Recently God has been showing me in my own life that some of them are getting answered not completely but now I can see him working in me. All of sudden I realized, wait a sec usually if something like this happens I freak out or overreact but I didn't. It is easier to calm down when my emotions are high. Just little glimpses here and there. As I have thought about it lately I believe that God is showing me those things to give a little bit more of hope. And Each time I receive a bit more of hope, it will be easier to overcome my struggle, so each time I get hope, I also get a little more strength and confidence to stand against temptation. This is the same for all of us. We can try and try to change ourselves but sometimes we need to be patient, pray and wait for God to move. His timing is best, waiting is the worst, but that is the whole point, life isn't easy, but with God nothing is impossible and victory is ours. No matter how bad or good our life is, he is our hope, our prize, our goal, our focus and our home
