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.
