Patience – Essential to Experiencing God's Best – Dr. Charles Stanley

Patience is a virtue we all respect—that is, until we have to exercise it in our own lives.

In this message, Dr. Stanley lays out the truth plainly: Patience is indispensable to our ability to obey God and receive His best for us. It may feel excruciating to wait upon the Lord, but that’s exactly where He said He would renew our strength (Isaiah 40:31). Discover why you can trust God’s perfect timing.

This message is part of the series, Expressing Godly Character.

  22. @ksam545 on August 10, 2025 at 12:53 am

    This video sermon appeared in my feed right when I was in the midst of a dilemma. I was pressured into making a rash decision. The Lord has given me timely and wise counsel in the form of relatives who gave me timely advice yesterday and today, and so I was saved from making a rash decision. Thank you Father God. I praise you Lord Jesus. I believe fully that You heard my cries, my pleas and my prayers. I trust in You and I surrender to You, O Lord. Amen.

    Im a virgin at 37 years old. How long should i wait? Until i die of old age? My heart’s biggest desire is to have a woman to love. And i waited for God to help me and my time expired while waiting. I feel abandoned by God, maybe He simply doesnt care for me, maybe im not one of His chosen people, Bible said “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” My cries to Lord doesnt mean anything to Him. I ask for guidance, answers, anything, why i must suffer this loveless existence, and all i get are gaslightings from preachers who have wives and children. Why God gave them what He doesnt wants to give me? Am i so unimportant to God? Someone to be pushed aside while the favorite children get their share of happiness.

    Pls don’t let God just be a YouTube comment.
    Seek God with all your heart,mind, body and soul.

    , Charles Stanley’s divorce raised some eyebrows among his followers. Many wondered how a man who preached about the importance of marriage could end up divorcing his wife/ She was the one who pushed for divorce…. She also mentioned that she had tried her best to support her husband’s calling but felt neglected by him as he spent more time on his ministry rather than with his family. His son Andy said he never seen his dad at home…. She expressed that this eventually led her to feel “isolated and forgotten.” He said he would step down as pastor BUT they told him he could stay if he did not remarry…And he never did…
