GOD'S PROMISES - PATIENCE

When you are praying and asking God for help it can be very hard to have patience while we are waiting for His answer to our prayers.  Included in your prayers for your situation, also ask God for the patience to wait until He reveals His perfect solution.

"A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense."  Proverbs 19:11

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."  Galatians 5:22,23b

"...being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves." Colossians 1:11-13

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised."  Hebrews 10:36
