When God Seems Slow

Encuentra esta guía en español: www.life.church/notas

Message Summary

Sometimes it can seem like God is working slowly. We pray and He doesn’t seem to answer. Daniel likely felt the same way, and his story shows us that God is still working, even when we’re waiting.

Key Scripture

But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
Psalm 3:3 ESV
