"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -Romans 12:12 (NIV)
Many people search for ways to handle the unknowns and unpredictability of life. Stores are lined with self-help books and products. Talk show hosts and advice columnists offer guidance and tips for improving life. These may all be helpful, but we shouldn't overlook the advice from God presented in the Bible.
Romans (12:12) offers advice that can help us through whatever life throws at us. Once we have accepted Jesus, we have hope in our future. We should be joyful in the hope of our Salvation. When we hit those lows in life, we should remain patient. God will work for good in our lives, but it won't always happen on our timetable. Finally, we should be faithful and take everything to God in prayer. By talking to God and listening to Him, we can know how to proceed through whatever is happening in our lives.
Be joyful, patient, and have faith as you talk to God and allow Him to guide you through life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the advice You provide for me. Help me to read, understand, remember, and apply Your lessons from the Bible and help me to follow Your plan for my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
