Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.

There are desires in each and every one of us. If we’re not mindful, anxiety can enter our lives and cause depression if we reached our delay limit.

We may feel like we should have been married by now, had children by now, or gotten a higher paying position by now. If we continue to rehearse the delay in our minds, we’ll experience anxiety and if we rehearse it too much, we may experience anxiety attacks.

However, if we place our trust in God, He knows when the appointed time should be to receive our desires. Another thing we have to be mindful of is that our desires are not only designed to bless our lives; our desires can be a blessing to people we haven’t met yet.

We may feel like it’s taking too long to receive a promotion at our current job, but God has other plans. God may have us apply to another job that pays a higher salary and at that job, we meet our future spouse who will assist in having future children. That’s how God works everything out for our good (Romans 8:28).

When you can’t figure it out, trust the plan and timing of God.
