You're never going to accomplish much for God if you try to do things yourself in the energy of the flesh. This is a problem that most of us seem to have. We jump to conclusions, make hasty decisions, or simply push ahead in our own strength, doing what seems natural or logical, without really praying and making sure that's what the Lord wants us to do and how He wants us to go about it.
You need to learn to stop and pray, "Now, God, what do You want me to do?" Seek the Lord. Don't just lean to your own understanding, even when a course of action seems obvious. Ask the Lord and make sure (Proverbs 3:5-7).
Remember, God is hardly ever in a hurry. The greatest works of God take time. It takes God time to make a baby or grow a flower or even to paint a sunset. So when you haven't yet made certain that a thing is God's will, the best thing to do is to wait on the Lord until He reveals it to you one way or the other.
"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart" (Psalm 27:14). "Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles" (Isaiah 40:31).
