I think that waiting patiently for God to act is one of the hardest things for a Christian to do. We want solutions and we want them yesterday! We go to the phone and not the throne, as Joyce Meyers says.
Waiting on God to move takes patience and courage. Its so easy to give up and come up with our own plan. But look at the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar in Genesis chapters 16, 17, 18. The results are still being seen in the Middle East today. I wonder what the world would be like today if he had done the right thing...
Look at what the Psalmist has to say:
"Let all that I am wait quietly before the God, for my hope is in Him. He alone is my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. O my people, trust in Him at all times. Pour out your heart to Him, for God is our refuge." Psalm 62: 5-8.
I think that this is great advice, don't you?
