- saddleback.com - Have you ever waited on God for something you desperately needed? Maybe it was a job, a spouse, a repaired relationship, a clean bill of health, or direction for your life. The Christmas story is also a story of waiting - the world was waiting for a Savior, and God answered that need by sending his Son, Jesus, to Earth at just the right time in history. In this special Christmas message, Pastor Rick Warren shows us how we can trust God’s perfect timing in our own lives. By looking at the example of Jesus’ birth, we can trust a God who overcomes our fear, teaches us patience, reminds us of his promises, and tells us to never give up.

I was in a hurry to marry this woman I love. But I felt this message telling me to trust Gods timing. Please pray for me because I know God is using this time to make me into the godly husband he wants me to be . Please pray for me to keep the faith. Mostly please pray that my heart n my mind is changed inside out so that I live & think & talk n act the way Jesus would in all situations.
and how are you?
God had me wait 3.5 years to marry my love
❤😊
For all my childhood, I had been an anxious child. Now, even after becoming a Christian at the age of 18, this tendency to be anxious still clings on to me. Thank you Pastor Rick for this message of hope. It reminds me that God loves me and He has the best plan for my life at the right time, so I have no need to fret. My job is to patiently wait upon Him, knowing that I'm not walking alone in this journey. What a joy to know that He has been with me all along the way, and will continue to do so until the very end of time. God, help me to trust You!
Hi brother
Yes Amen
Almost all my dreams have been shattered. Now I simply dream of a good nights sleep. I would forever sacrifice my shattered dreams for 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep. My heart was broken 8 years ago. Around that time I changed careers on top of that. I never thought those two events would disrupt my life the way it has. I’m miserable in my personal life and my professional life. However during these tough miserable times 3 things have happened. I married person that brought me back to the Lord and gave me two children. I love the and trust in the Lord and I adore my children. See God knew these tough times were coming for me and he accepted me back then gave me the love of two children. The love of The Lord and my two children is what keeps me from falling over dead.
I get this, dear bro. Jesus help us! 🙏
I am praying that you will be filled with The Joy of The Lord, to renew your strength. Please put on the garment of Praise, for the spirit of heaviness, child of God. Surround yourself with praise music whenever possible, even as you sleep. Renew your mind by thinking of things that are true, noble, just, pure lovely, good reports…keep the routine of searching the scriptures, everyday. I pray He gives you the confidence that He loves you and can change what you cannot. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
GOD is here my bro...praying HE keeps you for HIMSELF and gives you HIS peace and the joy of HIS loving Presence in JESUS' Nm.
I pray God revives your dreams and gives you the strength and trust to move forward with confident faith in his best plans for you.
You're blessed. Cherish them. God bless you & your beautiful family
“God isn’t mad at you. God is mad about you.” Literally almost fell of my bike, as I openly sobbed with joy.
]p
Waiting on Gods promise can be very difficult but worth it. If u ever want to take things into your own hands read the story of Abraham and that should stop you.
God bless you and thank you for the tip
Yeah, and EVERYONE on Earth has paid for his mistake ever since. Kind of like Eve's too come to think about it.
I'm waiting on God's timing to alleviate my sadness and grief from my husband of 53 years dying 5 1/2 months ago. I do trust that God means to teach me lessons of how I can help others while they are grieving. But the sadness right now is just overwhelming. It's really a test of my being able to keep from falling into despair...hardest thing I have ever had to do. I pray, read the Bible, cry and then do it all over again. One day when I go to Heaven to meet Jesus and see Jimmie again, all sadness and grief will be over. I have to hold onto that. Diane in North Carolina
You are holding on to the past and what is over. Start a new daily routine, GET OUT...go to the library, church, just walk around a large store, but get out! Plant some flowers; purge...get rid of old junk, old clothes. Do SOMETHING constructive every day. And when the grief of your memories hits really hard, take THAT day to mourn and to cry. But you HAVE to keep moving and changing. That is what life is all about. And then, when you see your Jimmie again, you will have a lot to tell him, won't you?
@@lindaintexas1145 Hi Linda, thank you for your suggestions. I volunteer at the Church, work with the Blood Drive, help with food prep at church, have lunch with friends. I don't mean to imply that I do nothing but pray, read the Bible, and cry all day long. I'm only saying that it's very hard to push through the sadness even with doing all those things. I will always hold on to the memories; I don't think God means for me to let those go. Have you lost a spouse and know first hand - is that where your suggestions are coming from? I'm curious to know. Again, thanks for your concern.
@Aaron Bunfill Thank you very much, Aaron. I really appreciate your compassion.
I losy my Father 3 years ago, and I read this somewhere. Grief is like always carrying a suitcase full of rocks. It is heavy but in time, you will get used to it. It is still heavy, it is still there, but you get use to carrying it. The pain will always be there, but you will learn to live with it. And pray that God replace the despair with excitement of someday meeting each other again in heaven. ❤️
@@winkieness Hi Winkieness, thank you for your comments. I lost my father too, then my mother, then my brother, and now my husband. You're right that the grief is still there, but it got easier to carry with my parents and brother, maybe partly because I always had my husband along side me to help carry the grief. It's been very different losing my husband. Though I miss Jimmie terribly, I wouldn't have him back here after he's experienced Heaven. Yes, I do look forward to seeing Jimmie again in Heaven, after meeting Jesus in person first. But some days, the anticipation of seeing Jimmie one day gets outweighed by my sadness at missing him. I'll keep carrying the rocks until my turn to go to Heaven. Again thank you for your comments.
"When you worry, its stewing without doing "
That hit me really hard
This video was posted 3 years ago but is EXACTLY what I needed to hear right now.
Gods timing is perfect… 🙌🏽
Indeed..same as me

So do we over here in florida.😮👍
I am struggling to find a job. I am waiting for my visa grant and because of the visa situation i am unable to secure a job. This message was for me. Thank you Jesus for bringing me to this video as i am too stressed out. Thank you.
Praying you will be led to opportunities that will allow you to prosper in abundance in all ways that concern you. Honor and trust in our Heavenly Father daily and know that He is always with you. In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen
mark joseph abdul keep going
Praying for you Mark...
mark joseph abdul Psalms 23......my brother, He will help, don't be stressed.....rest in GOD
I can feel you Mark, I am too.. But we trust God He has a plan for us. Everything will happen exactly in His Time. Let’s continue to be patient, more Faith and never stop believing in God’s time. God Bless and prayers for Us all!
I'm almost 27 and still didnt meet my future wife yet. Almost tired of looking as in trying to hurry up the process before a certain age but its in His timing not mine. I'm sure theres still things God wants me to learn and realise before that commitment.
I know how it is.... god knows the perfect time for you it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop looking!
Its all about gods timing not ours it's a journey
@westCoast, timing is everything. Find within yourself and get to know yourself and make changes in your life with GODS planning. We are not GOD, but we shall serve and do as he wants us to do. You are bound to find that special one in your life. Don’t give up. Maybe there is some things in your character that does not allow our Heavenly Father to provide you with a great woman yet. On my own experience, is very hard to maintain a family and a happy home. I have to make changes myself if I want to continue my blessings with my wife and family. HAVE FAITH AND PRAY EVERY DAY!! God will always be with you.
God presented Eve to Adam
Approaching 60 now, and after almost 37 YEARS of "Holy Deadlock", about only wisdom I can offer you, young man, is Be careful what you pray for, because God definitely has a sick, twisted sense of humor. HA!
Amen! My son shall walk again in the name of Jesus.
Yes he shall
I have had the same dream since I was a little girl and I've often asked God in prayer, "Why is it taking so long? I see others with a similar dream who are much younger than me and who are living it. Why do I have to wait?" I don't have the answer to that yet, but I know that His word will NOT return to me void and it will come to pass. In the waiting, I am growing- growing in the gifts He has given me, growing in my faith, growing in patience, growing! I am doing my part and waiting on Him to do His. I know that He will not fail me. This message really helped renew my mind this morning!
and has God fulfilled your dream? How are you doing?
God's timing is perfect. My timing is imperfect.
Waiting is all I feel like I've done for almost 4 years for my physical health to recover, and almost 20 years for my mental health to change. I am only 21 but have had untreatable mental health issues since birth. Years of treatments from many different medical facilities have failed only for me to discover one doctor who is now helping me physically. And now, it looks like my mental health could potentially be totally cured because I was diagnosed with a curable tick borne disease(Lyme). I can't wait to see the world through a normal mind. I look forward to that day. I pray God forgives me for giving up on him. I know he will because he is merciful and forgives my sin and understands my mental issues.
I would like to ask you to look for a sermon on TH-cam called "The Insanity of Martin Luther" by RC Sproul. I pray it sheds light and gives you a new perspective.
Me and my wife have been trying to have a baby for almost 2 years with no luck yet. Looking for prayers. This video helped to cement that we need to trust gods plan and timing
This sermon was for me at this time, put me back on track, God answers praying! Thank you Lord!
"You don't have to know the key men in life if you know the man that holds the keys."- Wow!
This sermon has reminded me of the hymn - I Have Returned.
All who see this. Pray for me
How are you?
Psalms 31:14-15 I trust you God, you are my God, my times are in your hands.
Yes exactly
Yes Amen
Don't give up.......Look Up!!! God is always there for us!
Thank you Lord for this message.
"With deep love I'll take you back!" Can't stop shedding tears oh Jesus oh Good LORD!
Your testimony about his teaching is exactly like mine. His teachings became transformative to me more than miracles and wonders which I had gone to experience. Now I can create my own miracles and wonders through living and meditating in the word of God. I am now a channel of blessing to my family and others. They ask me to pray for them or advise them or speak for them or stand in faith with them because they have noticed God lives in me and fruits are abound.
Great message. I appreciate the Word of God and how it provides for us all that pertains to life and godliness. Waiting is an important spiritual discipline!
1. Fear Not: Trust God.
2. Fret Not: Be Patient and Humble
3. Forget Not: Study God’s Promises
4. Faint Not: Don’t Quit
5. Always the right time: to return to the Lord and to receive the saving grace of God
Amen
Why Stress when I'm so Blessed!
I might not have everything I want and know I deserve but I trust that God has it all planned out accordingly. Just be grateful for the small things you do have - and the Universe will take notice and continue blessing you. Sending love and hope to anyone that needed to see this
The Universe?? As in manifesting?
This message slapped me dead in my face!! Thank you God for this great message.
I met a great girl. We vibed really well and am so sad cause I didn’t even get the chance to tell her how I feel. But it’s all in your hands God. I want the absolute best for both of us and everyone. If it means I never see her again, so be it. I just pray that she knows you.
28 years still waiting
When you knock on the door and nobody answers it means either nobody's home or the person inside is ignoring you.
Thank God for this message. I am at a crossroad of my life. I need God's guidance more than ever.🙏
Thank you Lord for your word! Your time is perfect! I’ll wait for you. Amen
What a right timing it is to listen to Pastor Warren’s sermons. These sermons shed so much light in my life that I decide to come back to God.
I will just correct this one thing.. God has revealed things to me before it happened. Some things. So I do personally believe that he can reveal things personal to us before it’s timing.
But you wouldn't know until it happens, right?
So true...
agree! Either by dreams or sometimes I just know.
True, he has also revealed to me. This is part of the prophetic spiritual gift. But remember somewhere in 1 Corienthians 12-14 it speaks about how we prophesy in part. Therefore he shows you a puzzle piece of what will happen. We don't make life changing decisions based on one puzzle piece but add it to Gods word, advice from mentors, Christian community and prayer and journalling with the Holy Spirit.
Put Jesus First Jessica Mary I 100% believe this - god puts things in my life related to the future I had no idea about, he gives me signs and guidance of things that are about to happen or will happen , I trust him with everything in my life - I believe I have a gift , and I want to share it with the world
I know..at this moment, I am in God's waiting room..and thank you for this reminder 😀 all glory to God.
This message is absolutely beautiful and much needed! Thank you Lord and thank you Rick for being obedient ❤🥳
Please pray for my family , me to heal from Parkinson disease and my husband to heal completely from brain cancer and my son got depression anxiety and fear and addiction .
I will
Amen

Literally me today. Watching others....wondering why everyone else's life is seeming taking off except mine. Glad i'm here. i'm in God's waiting room...
Saddleback channel is very underrated
God was crying for years. It sounded like a squeaky wheel that sounded like a bird. It didn't make me feel mentally ill and was kind of comforting not being alone. I didn't think of suicide the whole time God was crying. That was probably it's purpose. He probably saved my life.
Everything is season never Dought that Jesus loves you my wife went to god may2018 only people who have gone through it know your pain love in Jesus trust him hope is one of his greatest gifts he give me my life back remember it’s what’s best for them not you hope trust Jesus to look after you
Thank you for the message.
God’s timing is Perfect, my timing is Imperfect.
God will send me a godly husband for me and my life and dreams and faith hands his wisdom and grace of his glory by God's gifted. Lord bless me a good man for my dreams in 2021
I believe this message is for me, I thank God for this message, I will not quit, for His timing is right and perfect. He knows why am going through this struggle and I believe all I have to do is trust Him. Jesus takes the wheel.
Yes
God is in control
Father God in the name of Jesus please forgive me I was being impatient yesterday because I was worried but he made it possible for me to not worry that same day thank you Heavenly Father
I am glad i had found Rick Warren's videos in my lifetime. I came from the Philippines and i will help spread these messages! Shalom Saddleback Church Family and Shalom to Rick Warren!
Love you 💞💞
Dear Rick, viewed this video in March and thank for pouring that drop of water to my dried up soul. It’s God plan for me to chance on your message for its made for me. I have always found myself in God’s waiting room and stressed over delays in my life. I want to reconnect with God again. Many blessings to you for the message that you share.
No one gets out of it except to face judgement. Good luck with that.
Great message we need to have patience in waiting on God plan on our lives.
What a powerful message. Just what I needed to hear, thank you and bless you Pastor Rick for this.
Amen In Jesus Name
I'm so grateful Jesus came into my life when He did. That was God's perfect timing.
i use to struggle in life,, now i learn to trust god, his timing is just ,now have hope and faith. don't give up, its coming god need people be prepare those hearts. keep believing for those miracles, with favor and gods blessings
I'm broken. I trusted and prayed, for myself and others. And I was smashed down and traumatised....Again, severely and ten times too many. Betrayed, humiliated, in unbearable pains...I broke. The only reason I keep from thinking of eating a bullet is because my Mom pleased with me. Am I spreading my misery ?...sorry. I just wish one if these promises would come about .
Where has this wonderful preacher of Gods good word been all my life??? I am super enjoying his presentation on the word. I am praying for this mans health our father who is in heaven take the sickness off this mans body in Jesus name amen. Thanks for your serving heart you will be bless more and more.

I'm totally late to the party! Hahaha but with God I am never late! But God has been so amazing lately despite this secular world beating me down, literally. God knows my dreams and with Him it will happen according to His plan. How great is our God! My trust is in Him 🥰
The lights and trees in the background make me feel warm
Great sermon.😊
Wonderful message... to God be the Glory...
When I'm obsessed with things that I want, it's time to think about God's time. My time is imperfect but God's time is perfect. With this faith, let me wait and stay in firm until your time comes to me.
Love this sermon. Great!
Thank you God for speaking to me. I hear you loud and clear. God Bless Pastor Rick Warren
