Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, When God, When?

Waiting. When we find ourselves living in a season of waiting, it can be frustrating.

We may struggle to keep our patience and want to try to make things happen on our own.

We may even go to God and ask him, when are you going to answer this prayer?

No matter how long the wait, God always has a good plan at the right time.

Today, Joyce wants to encourage us that choosing to trust him in those waiting times

will prepare us for when God's answers do come.

Now here's Joyce with the series, When God,

when. How many of you know sometimes things are changing and your feelings change and you just

don't understand why you feel that way and you even think, well, it's me. Something's wrong with me.

And I mean, I went through everything from thinking I wasn't a

loving person to I wasn't appreciative and all these different things. Well, it took a lot longer

than it should have for us to make the change, but two years, and finally all four of us got it.

It was time for a change.

And we're still friends today.

We love them.

They love us.

But we used to see them every day of our life for 18 years.

And now we see them maybe five times a year, something like that.

But, you know, we've got a relationship with deep roots.

We would do anything for them if they ever needed help.
