The moment you prayed, God has a "set time" established to answer your prayer. We must have faith to trust God and know that our time is coming. We have to stop worrying and thinking about when "something" is going to happen.
Hebrews 4:3 (KJV)
" For we which believe enter into rest."
Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)
" For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie, it will not tarry."
Through having faith in God, that he will do what he says he will do and waiting through patience, we will inherit God's promises. We must quit trying to figure things out on our own and allow God to do things his way.
Consider Sarah and Abraham. They wanted a baby. God told them that they will bear a son and he will carry God's blessing. But years past and Sarah began to get older and older. She lost faith and patience that God's word will come true. So Sarah tried to take matters into her own hands. She gave her maid to her husband in order for her husband to impregnate the maid so Sarah can have a child. When Sarah took matters into her own hands all other problems arose. She became jealous of the maid and the child so she sent them away.
The point is, we must wait on God's timing and not take matters in our own hands. When we take matters into our own hands the results can be disastrous.
When you get anxious and want to make things happen, sit still and relax. Be patient and rely on God through faith. Be at peace with the Lord. Be at rest with the Lord.
Pray this daily if you are struggling: Father, give me the grace to accept your timing.
