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.

If I were to ask today, how many of you have been confused lately,

how many hands would go up?

Okay, now look at me, you know why?

Because you're trying to figure something out.

You cannot get confused if you refuse to try to figure things out.

You can't.

You can't get confused.

Now, I'm not saying that we're just a bunch of dummies and we don't ever think about anything,

but here's my guideline.

I can ponder it. I can roll it over, over into my mind until I start to feel confused,

I start to lose my peace, then I've got to let it go.

And I had a huge problem with reasoning.

I might even say I was addicted to reasoning.
