Tenacity/Time/ Trust
Quite often we become impatient and take things into our hands instead of waiting on God.
Because of loneliness, grief, financial lack etc, we quickly get back in the dating game. We think that another person can heal our wounds or take care of us.
There are many benefits that we can receive from God by simple waiting before rushing into a relationship after the death of our spouse.
Is 40:31 They that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
WISDOM
How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For its profit is better than the profit of silver, and its gain than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast. (NAS, Proverbs 3:13-18)
When you wait on the Lord you receive wisdom. It takes time to heal. As you wait for your healing, you will become a whole person. You learn to identify red flags. Because you are not needy you will most likely attract the right person. As you wait also you will gain knowledge from many sources on how to survive.

INTUITION
Lead me in thy truth and teach me: for though art my salvation:on thee do I wait all day.
Ps.25:5
When you wait patiently on the Lord ,He gives you an inner sixth sense. He makes you aware when something is not right. You will focus better and have a clearer mind. Because you are not in a hurry , you can identify red flags. It is during this waiting period that you understand God's plan for you. God's plan might be singleness for now or the future. Only you can know this from the peace He gives you during your waiting period. If it is, His plan ,for you to remarry, rest assured that He will send His perfect choice for you...and you will know it! The Holy spirit will reveal it to you.
TENACITY/Trust /Timing
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they walk and not faint. Is.40:30
As you wait on the Lord he will give you strength. You will become stronger in Him. You will start falling in love with Him. You are no longer needy. You are now whole. He is now your husband, your provider, your all in all. You are now whole and ready to share your life with another whole person if that is God's plan.

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land.
Malachi 3:11-12
God is interested in your finances. he wants to bless you. He wants to increase your bank account. He wants to bless your business. Do your part and claim his promises.
Ye have not because ye ask not. Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss.
James 4: 2-3
The bible is speaking about two kinds of persons here.
One needs something and asks not. The other needs something and asks, but asks with doubt.
For us to receive from God we must ask in faith.
What do you need from God today? healing?, finances?, restored relationship?,employment?
It really does not matter what you need. What ever your situation is to day get down on your knees. Cry out to your father. After you have done that stand up, raise both hands and rejoice . Thank Him for the answer. Do not try to figure out how He is going to do it. Just trust him.
Let us pray
Heavenly father we pray that you will meet our needs according to your riches in glory. Amen. Thank you God for meeting our needs . Amen
