Patience?

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[b] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
Jeremiah 29:11-14

God always has the best plan for us. He will not harm us and he knows what is the best for us. God promises us that he will listen to our prayers too so we should not stop praying no matter how hard the situation is. Lean not to our own understanding but we should submit to him, only then can we find true joy and happiness.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.[a]
Proverbs 3:5-6

We should also seek Him with all our hearts, not half-hearted. I'm sure i would be quite upset if God does his promises half-heartedly. God should be my priority above all things and all things will fall nicely. Studies, relationships, band, family, friends. 
我 们 晓 得 万 事 都 互 相 效 力 , 叫 爱 神 的 人 得 益 处 , 就 是 按 他 旨 意 被 召 的 人 。

Therefore, i should be patient and seek even greater patience from God so that I will not sway towards worldly pleasures, Lord please let me be patient, because I know you have your own time to do what is best for me.
