Words of Encouragement for Patience     

Prayer For Patience

It’s hard to be a patient person in this fast-paced world.

Everyone is rushing from one place to another or from one task to another.

The world has conditioned people they must always do things now and the result of this is a lack of patience in the world.

Patience is a virtue that starts with waiting on God for his timing.

He is never in a hurry and does things in His timing, which differs from ours.

If God will be part of your life, then you need to learn to wait for when he is ready to give you what you desire even as others are getting ahead.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. Psalm 37:7

The Christian walk of faith can have challenges that shake us, but God urges us to show patience as we wait for Christ to return.

You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. James 5:8

Growing in your faith means you give God time to work his righteousness into your heart.

This may take a while depending on the condition of your heart and your unique circumstances.

Always take your time with others and know that they too have their own challenges to deal with every day. You will be showing them the love of God.
