Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:12
NLT Bible
So many people have become tired and weary due to some of the things they're experiencing. They feel like giving up as nothing seems to be changing in their lives. This verse encourages us to persevere in our faith and not give in to our negative and discouraging thoughts. As children of God, we have hope that all things will work out for our good, that God is working behind the scenes getting things in place for our day of victory. We may be afflicted, physically and emotionally, but patience is the key and each new day brings hope that the answer is on its way.
We cannot sit idly and expect things to change. Being faithful in prayer is important. Regardless of the circumstances, we have to make prayer a priority, bringing our needs to God and always thanking Him for answered prayer. When we become impatient and neglect prayer during difficult times, we make bad decisions and become easy targets for the enemy. God wants only the best for us, but we cannot become frustrated and give up. We must remain faithful in prayer, be obedient, patient and keep our hope centred on God alone.
Thank you Lord for the hope I have in you. Help me to be patient during my times of affliction, to never give up and to be faithful in prayer. My hope is in you and I know that everything will work out. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
Lydia
