12 Steps to Waiting on GodWaiting on God is not a passive waste of time where you do nothing. As the farmer waits for his crop to mature, he still has a lot of work that he is doing in preparation for the coming harvest.

3. Keep you Joy (Nehemiah 8:10) - make it a point to enjoy your life while you are waiting.
4. Stay expectant: Something Good is going to happen to me today! (John 10:10)
5. Believe- Do not doubt (James 1:6-8)
6. Use promises in the Word to keep your faith strong (2 Corinthians 1:18-22)
7. Do not give up - stay persistent (James 1:1-4)
8. Continue to dilgently seek God (Hebrews 11:6)
9. Look to grow (James 1:4 and Hebrews 6:1-3)
10. Stay focused on Jesus (Hebrews 2:2)
11. Give thanks - for what God has already done for you-- and give thanks in faith for what He is about to do. (Hebrews 12:28)
