Growing PatienceSample

BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF TALKING TO GOD Thank God for His patience and for helping you to be patient with yourself. DIVING IN Try to write your name or draw a picture with the hand you don't normally use. If you make a mistake, start over. Talk about why it's so frustrating to write or draw with your opposite hand. GOING DEEPER Think about times when God has been patient with you. In 2 Peter 3:15, the Bible says, “Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation.” God is patient with you not just in the area of salvation, but in every area of your life. He won’t give up on you, even when you make mistakes. You need to be as patient with yourself as God is with you. Instead of becoming frustrated, you should keep trying to do what is right before God, even when you fail, so you can become more like Jesus every day. TALKING TO EACH OTHER - How do you know God is patient with you? - What is one area where you easily become frustrated? - What is one thing you can do to become more patient with yourself?
