Prayers

Sometimes the answers to our prayers are been delayed, because our prayers is connected to someone somewhere whom we haven't met, but who will play a significant role in our life or influence our life in some kind of way or vice versa. In other words, your prayers has a bigger purpose attached to it, and God will only answer that prayer when he feels you and the other person involved are ready.

Patience

Anyone can learn to wait but not everyone has the ability to be patient. Patience is a fruit of the spirit, you either have it or you don't. You can tell the depth of a person's character by how much patience they continue to have, when things take longer than expected, or don't turn out in the way they would have liked, when they have no control of the situation, or when they can do nothing about how a person's perceives them or how they interpret the things they do.

One of the price of being CALLED is facing rejection from people and dealing with constant criticism or misunderstanding from loved ones and from people you care about. Most people will not understand some of the sacrifices & the difficult decisions you have to make in life, which sets you apart from others, the painful things you have to go through which prepares you for your calling, the delays you experience because God doesn't always come through at the time you expect, nor would they understand why you think the way you do, and why your life cannot be compared to your peers or to anybody for that matter because what you're experiencing is far from being ordinary. All of this you have to endure, while you try to live normal. But in the end your life and gift will speak for itself, if you don't give up.
