It took 7 years in the conquest of Canaan. It took time. Do you expect quick changes and quick victories in your life? Your journey with God is a life long process. Changes in your life may take time. Many times when change takes time, we can get impatient. God does not want you to give up on hope as you go through the journey with him. Take time to look back, and you will see that God never stopped working, and you can see your progress.
