"And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him." --Genesis 21:5.
We as Christians tend to be so impatient with God. We say a 5-minute prayer and expect an immediate answer, as if God were merely a genie. He wants to do so much for us, but we are limiting Him by our lack of faith. God greatly blessed Abraham, yet he had to wait for God's true blessings. His shortcuts never worked! He tried having a son with another woman and that just bred jealousy (duh!); and he tried leaving the promised land, but had gotten so much stuff so quickly that his nephew had to leave and got wrapped up with Sodom and Gomorrah. He was trying to rely on his wisdom, yet God's was the only one to work. He can do better with your life than you can. The only question is: will you let Him?
