By now most of us know that God gives us one of three answers to all that we ask for.
1. Yes
2. Not yet
3. Something better
And I think we can all agree that yes or something better are awesome, we love that. But what about not yet? This is clearly the most frustrating answer of the three so let’s talk about it.
When your manifestations or desires aren’t coming to you right away, it clearly states in the book “Ask and It Is Given” but Jerry and Ester Hicks that we aren’t doing our part of allowing it into our reality. This could be for many reasons, and probably subconsciously. But what I also know to be true is part of God’s not yet is preparation. For your desires to become your current reality, the energy must shift. This means, first and foremost, the energy within you must shift.
Some people may ask to win the lottery without learning financial literacy skills. They may also overlook financial responsibility. The long-term results of this desire may hurt you more than you can see. God can see that.
Some people may ask to meet their soulmate. They want to spend the rest of their life with this person once they do. However, they haven’t developed the skills of patience, self-love, or trust. God knows you need that.
Losing your desires will hurt more than waiting to receive them. Read that again. God knows this.
So, if you are ill prepared for your desires, you might be setting yourself up for a world of pain. God doesn’t wish this for you. Instead, God will guide you on what you need to do. This will help you create space to receive your desires and maintain them over the long term.
That not yet is preparing you for something WAY better than you can imagine. And it will most likely happen in a way you did not see coming.
The reason I decided to write about waiting on God’s timing is because it is something I am truly struggling with lately. I understand how frustrating it is, I understand how you feel you can be doing everything correctly and nothing seems to be changing. I understand how much it makes you want to give up. Unfortunately, I don’t have a magic remedy to share with you. I am sharing this because maybe one of you will feel less alone if you know I am right there with you.
The only answer I can come up with is continuing to have faith. This is truly called having blind faith. And I think it would make God proud. I know if the roles were reversed, and people chose to believe in me, it would fill me with love. Even though they have no proof of their life changing for the better, they trust in me. So that’s what I am going to do.
This would also be an excellent time to tend to yourself. Your energy may be feeling drained (mine sure is). Eat your favourite meal. Be gentle with yourself. Do some self-love activities. Sleep more. Do whatever it is that shows yourself that you care.
The last “tip” I will share with you is to be patient. Become conscious of how you are acting while being patient. It won’t help you if you’re mad all the time (trust me). This is God preparing you, so have an open mind to evolving and flowing where the universe wants to guide you. One of my now very successful friends in real estate had a dream. She spent 10 years grinding and working 3 jobs. She slept in her car. She did what was necessary. She said, sometimes nothing changes for years and then everything all at once. She now owns a company worth over $100 million. Another content creator I follow recently expressed how grateful she is for her community. After 7 years of creating content, she’s very happy to be full time. She explained how if she gave up in year 2, year 3, or even year 5, she would have never got to live the life she’s always dreamt of. Now, she gets to live that dream.
Patience, belief in yourself, and not giving up. If there is a magic formula, well that’s it. But what it’s going to feel like sometimes is frustration, lack of self-belief, and wanting to give up. It’s very important that you don’t.
We’re in this together. Let’s keep going. I believe in you.
