Breakthrough for you will come as a trickling stream instead of a roaring river. Your proverbial mantra will be: slow and steady, slow and steady. Take life as it comes; you cannot rush it.

I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision — you’ll see it yet! 16 Now that we’re...
Be patient and remain diligent. The issues you have been dealing with seem to have no resolution, but you are making progress. Do not give up or lose hope, but rather keep your faith strong.

When it seems like you can get nothing done, have patience and take everything as it comes. Refuse to focus on things that have no eternal value.
