      Honestly, you’ll feel so free when you just surrender to the fact that God knows what’s best for you better than you know what’s best for you. Let go and Let God!

    Surprisingly this popped up
    I am in my waiting period too and I used to complain
    God brought me a contract that took away my savings in order to be dependent solely on him… it’s not easy but I trust that the end will be so beautiful 😻
    Now i spend more time with him in prayer and he’s pruning me,taking away anger,lust,partying etc ❤❤ I pray for strength

    Ladies thank you so much for this teaching. I am in a season that has lasted 13 years and you all have touched on many things God has been teaching me. This is confirmation that I am on track. I have hope even though it’s been 13 years. God has transformed me over these years. I am now able to rest and lean into what God is doing because it is supernatural. I am humbled at the patience, mercy and kindness the Lord has shown me. I’m learning to be patient and kind towards others. Especially to those who are mistreating me. God is just and keeps perfect records. he has taught me vengeance is His so don’t waste thoughts on getting people back. That’s Gods business. I am so grateful for my journey. It’s encouraging to hear some speak what I’ve lived these last 13 years. Many don’t understand, even believers, but I am on God’s agenda and I have peace. Thank you again. You are a blessing!!!

    Thank you, ladies for this beautiful message. God really often jump my eyes and my earight. Now my daughter and I are walking through the darkest season. The hardest season, the hardest season. It's not in the minute yet but it feels like we've been it for 10 years. I know God has a plan and a purpose. If you could just pray for her her name is Deitra my name is Christine She had suffered a mental breakdown last October.
    But I know God is healing her. He's making her stronger me stronger. And I'm so grateful to him for the toes that I have right now to walk or throw it and God is walking measured. But you're right, but this message really helped me. In more ways than you know. God bless each and every one of you.

    This is the second video of Stephanie I stamble on and they are the message my soul knows I needed today, I have been in the waiting season for exactly a year now, no job, and God is been faithful in providing for me, it's of the recent months that I have learnt surrender and waiting on God to move me to my next level, some days are challenging but the spirit of God has not left my side once bit,
    I am now at that point that I know and my spirit feels the breakthrough is near!

    From a single mother struggling working 6 days a week in Virginia… I got two kids. I always ask what can I do. I reach out to God. But I guess I’m too far. 🤷 Driving 2 hours away to a job after applying to over 300 jobs in two weeks. I got 3 offers. 2 denied. One accepted. My rent is 2x the rent. One father is on the run from child support. Other father walked out of my son’s life. Where’s my relief?

    I used to think of the season of waiting as the worst until God revealed to me that it is for me not against me. it is in waiting I'm renewed and refined for the calling ahead. if you look at the bible a lot of people waited after being anointed before taking up the call. Joshua to serve under Moses before he could lead the Israelites into Canaan. Elisha served under Elijah before he could take up his calling of being a prophet. Jesus himself waited before he could start his work. birthing something before its time can lead to premature death. Lean into the waiting, use it to get closer to God, let His will prevail over yours and be obedient. You will be more grateful for it.
