Prayer, Patience, Joy

     Here is a short Bible verse to memorize. It covers life and what we need to do. See what you think.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

     That about sums it up. Turn to God with everything in prayer. Be constantly in touch with him. Walk with him. Talk with him. Listen to him. Pray.

     Be patient in waiting. God is working even when you don’t see it or feel it. In the middle of a mess, God is walking ahead, putting things in motion.  Be patient.

     Hope remains. Hope realized is no longer hope. Hope is always there, just around the corner, in the next year, in the next hour, in a smile, in a friend, in God. Find hope.

     Life isn’t easy. Give your burdens to the one of your heart, the one who knows you inside and out, the one who will one day call you home. It’s Jesus.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

Jesus,

Thank you for your word. It tells us how to live. It brings us ideas on what to do. It reminds us to be patient, to pray and to hope.

Amen
