Our way, right away

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6)

God has promised in his word that if he begins a good work in us he will indeed complete it. However the period between the beginning and the completion is often very hard and much longer than we would like. This is because we always want everything done right away. However, God never promised us that we will get what we want, our way, right away. We simply have to believe in him and trust him to bring his word to pass in our lives. He knows what's best for us and he knows exactly what's doing. There is a lesson between the beginning and the end and we need to learn that lesson before we can reach the end.
