Dieter F. Uchtdorf Quotes

Although his time is not always our time, we can be sure that the lord keeps his promises.

I spend a lot of time in prayer. God doesn't always show up on my time, but he always shows up!

If God is slow in answering your request, or if you ask but do not promptly receive anything, do not be upset, for you are not wiser than God.

I've learned over the years to appreciate God's timing, and you can't rush things; it's gonna happen exactly when it's supposed to.

When I went through my divorce, I decided that I was going to pray this time for someone. Then, God sent me someone. I prayed for the specific qualities I wanted in a man, and I wasn't going to settle for anything less.

Be patient - if something is supposed to happen, it's going to happen. Whenever I've tried to force things, they didn't go right.

God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

When we surrender to His timing, He does mighty things in and for us, according to His will and His timing. God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.

The trouble is that I'm in a hurry, but God isn't.

Faith in God includes Faith in God's timing.

It is not lost time to wait upon God!

God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time.

It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.

I feel like, if it's supposed to happen, then it'll happen. God will send me somebody special, whenever the timing is right, so I'm just patient.

I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling.

I needed to do my current job well, keep preparing, and wait on God's timing. I needed to trust His leadership rather than try to force an outcome I wanted.

There is no place for faith if we expect God to fulfill immediately what he promises.

Never think that God's delays are God's denials. True prayer always receives what it asks, or something better.

God is never in a hurry, but God is never late

Be patient. Let God answer your question on His schedule, not yours.

Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.

We must mark God's providence leading us; and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes

God's timing is rarely our timing.

The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.
