"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -Romans 12:12 (NIV)
Life is full of joys. It is also filled with disappointments and challenges. Sometimes it may seem as if the world changes overnight, flipping between challenge and opportunity or between joy and disappointment. Whenever we begin to be discouraged by the events of our lives, we should reflect on God's enduring presence in our lives and in the ways in which we can connect with Him!
God promises to be with us. He knows what is in our hearts, both individually and collectively. When we are celebrating or when we are searching for answers, we can turn to God. We can call on Him through prayer. We can hope in His promises to us. We can have patience, knowing that God is acting in His time. Through whatever we are facing, God is with us and will bring us through it. We can have faith in God's promises and be comforted by His presence in our lives, then, through hope, patience, and prayer, we can follow Him to eternal glory!
Be hopeful. Be patient. Be in constant prayer to God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me, giving me hope and patience. Please continue to accompany me and guide me through all that I face. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
