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.

I received a call to preach the gospel

43 years ago in February of 1976.

And I was doing something all throughout those 43 years,

but it started so little,

and it changed so slowly

that it almost seems like nothing is happening.

Although when you get on the other side of things and you have what you've been waiting for,

you can look back and see

that you were making progress.

And what we really need to learn how to do

is to celebrate our little victories.

Come on.

All along the way.
