When, God, When?: Learning to Trust in God's Timing
God Is Always on Time for You!
God has perfect timing for everything in your life. Sometimes He answers prayers quickly. Other times He waits until He knows you are ready to use His gifts wisely. The wait is not always easy. Impatience, frustration, and disappointment can build because you're waiting for things to happen now. It is only when you learn to respect, appreciate and, most of all, trust the times of waiting that God really goes to work behind the scenes in earnest. In this uplifting guide, Joyce Meyer shows you that in God's time you will see the dreams and the visions He has given you fulfilled.
The safety in God's timing
How you can grow and mature during times of waiting
Why waiting is God's way of reaffirming faith and trust in Him
How to build the foundations of a patient lifestyle
Why we sometimes have to wait for others to be ready.
God hears you and is working to answer your prayers. If you are willing to wait on His perfect timing, your dreams will be fulfilled with all the blessings of His love.

Due season is when God knows we are ready, not when we think we are ready
Trusting God often requires not knowing how God is going to accomplish what needs to be done and not knowing when He will do it....
Helpful read!!

This is power packed and helped me in so many areas; primarily to have patience in waiting on God and knowing that His timing is best in every situation. I highly recommend this anyone, who has been waiting on God for the answers and manifestation of your prayers.

"When God, When" is a very inspiring book by Joyce Meyer. It teaches you how to wait in God's time and how to enjoy the waiting. What you're waiting for will come in God's time. You must be patient and have faith that what you're waiting for will come. If you have faith and patience, it will come. Enjoy your life while you wait and you will be in God's Peace. I have been there. I waited patiently in faith, and it came - in God's time. God bless you!!!

Good read to quick encouragement
I've read many of her books and enjoyed this one as well. It's short but straight to the point. I always love things that get to the point. She encourages and said things that I could relate too. Not in regards to her ministry but just the frustration and confusion one may feel when asking "when God When?"

يعتبر نبذه بتتكلم عن الصبر والثقة في ان الله بيعمل كل حاجه في وقتها الصح ، وازاي ان النضوج بيكون أحياناً شرط لتحقيق الطلب ، كتيب مفيد وبسيط وقرايته متستغرقش اكتر من ساعه او ساعه ونص

This short, yet sweet book on waiting was the perfect end to my 2020 reads. I feel confident going into the next year now that I have a new feeling, knowledge, and power in waiting.

Awesome Read!!!!
I loved this book because it went along with where I am right now. I am the youngest of 7 and hated waiting growing up because I was always used to getting what I wanted. Even more so as an adult I hated waiting. But as I get older, God is teaching me how to wait gracefully, not like a spoiled brat! I'm so grateful for the peace I've found!
