While in recovery, though, I’ve learned that practicing patience and waiting on God’s timing is part of the Holy Spirit’s work in my life. When these virtues are coupled with self-control (meaning under God’s control), I am better able to wait. Quite honestly, in my perspective, it seems like he comes through at the very last moment—but the fact is that he always comes through. It’s never easy to wait, but things always work out better when we do.
