Let me know what you think!

Do you wonder how long it will take for your broken family to be restored?

Today, I share three tips about how to wait on God’s perfect timing.

Waiting for restoration can be full of promise and hope.

The first tip is Restoration happens -- in our families according to God’s will and plan. God’s restoration can be like a waiting room.

Waiting is an essential step in learning how to trust and serve God well.

We can allow the time we spend in the “waiting room” to be a time of personal growth.

Isaiah 40:31 (NIV), but those who hope (wait) on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint.”

The second tip is: Restoration is on God’s timetable. I must be willing to wait on God’s plan.

God has a plan for us as we wait, most of us want immediate answers, solutions, our problems solved right now.

Did you know that 80 percent of our problems come from how we feel about ourselves? I can invite God into my “waiting room:"

1. Stop. Emotions are like a warning light that tell us something is wrong. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19).

2. Confess. You can tell God how you feel, anything you think, even if you are mad at him. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

3. Believe. To remind ourselves, God is working behind the scenes. “You have heard these things. From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you” (Isaiah 48:6).

In a time of restoration, you can be sure you will spend time in God’s waiting room. Invite God into the waiting room with you.

The third tip is Restoration is going to happen according to God’s plan, His glory, and His perfect timing.

It’s difficult to be still. Psalm 46:10, (NIV) “He says, “Be still and know that I am God.” There are lessons you are learning through waiting that couldn’t have been learned any other way.

Today we talked about three tips to help us while we are waiting on answers:

1. Restoration happens in our families according to God’s will.

2. Restoration is on God’s timetable.

3. Restoration will be according to God’s plan and it’s purpose? To glorify Him.

Restoration may take longer than you think, and you may not see immediate results. But God is working on your behalf. Always

I encourage you this week -- let go of any agenda you are hanging on to. I look forward to next time, as in Christ, we embrace heart restoration and the con
