What to do when God brings a delays?

This blog is more about writing this to myself then anything else.  I am in the hands of God.  I believe that God's Word is true from cover to cover.  I believe in the faithfulness of God.  I believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior to all who call upon Him. I have answered the call of God and have served the Lord to the best of my ability for over 40 years now.  Let me say on that it would have been a lot better if I had trusted Him more.  I do not live with regrets or second guessing myself in the decisions that I have made in my life.  That does not mean they were all the best decisions but one cannot go back and change the past like they do in the some movies.  I can focus on the future though with great hope that God is faithful to all His promises and that He has a great plan and purpose for my life and for all who have called upon His name.  I do not know why God has delayed my next ministry assignment and as I wait He has been loving, merciful and faithful to me.  Yes He has been teaching me new degrees of patience and trust.  Let's go back to the title of this blog: what to do when God brings delay?  I am going to give you three things that I am trying to do and if you are in a similar situation I encourage you to do the same.  First, I continue to spend time in His presence as I have done for over 40 years now.  I start my day, everyday, with Him in reading the Bible, praying, meditating, journaling and worship.  I do this everyday not out of obligation but ought of love for my Savior who has given me much more then I will ever deserve so if He does not do anything else for me for the rest of my days on earth I will continue to start each day listening to Him, praying to Him, thinking about Him and worship Him with thanks and praise.  Second, I fight the moments of negative thinking and doubt.  I wish when you accept Jesus and serve Him that all doubt would go away but for me I continue to renounce the thoughts that are not consistent with His Word and His call upon my life.  I have prayed frequently the prayer of the father who son the disciples could not heal.  "Lord I believe help me to overcome my unbelief."  Third, I follow the words of Jesus in how He taught us to pray.  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."  Matthew 7:7-8   The stress of these verses is to keep asking, keeping seeking, to keep knocking which will lead us into a deeper cooperation with God in finding His will for our lives.  I speak in positive terms as much as I can because God has promised and He is trustworthy and faithful and that is enough for me.  So what do I do when God delays, keep doing what I have been doing to keep my relationship with Jesus fresh and relevant.  I want Jesus to find faith in me when He returns.  Is this easy, no this has never been easy but with God all things are possible.
May the God of all love and mercy reveal Himself to us as we continue to seek His face, to do His will, His way.
