WAIT ON YOU - PATIENCE

Patience isn’t easy in this fast-paced world. Our world often thrives on instant satisfaction, so your patience is often one of the first things to be tested. Whether it’s unexpected traffic, a delay on a package, or even with the people around you, patience can be hard to find when you’re used to things happening quickly. However, patience can be a game-changer in who you are and the character you operate in. It’s a fruit of the Spirit and one that sets the foundation for the rest. Patience is simply the ability to wait or to navigate life in joy. You can probably think of a time when you struggled with patience. But with patience, you allow God to move in your life in ways you could never have imagined. Waiting can also be a form of protection, and it’s often something God uses to make us more like Him. Life can move quickly, and you might miss what’s right in front of you if you’re always rushing. Having patience not only changes the way you live but can also be the fruit others experience through you. Imagine extending patience when you want to be angry, or walking with gentleness when you feel like rushing. Patience is a gift from God, something you can ask for every day. Today, ask God to increase your patience, then walk it out. Let God move in your life as you choose to express the fruit of the Spirit through patience.

God, thank You for giving us patience in all we do. Today, I ask for an increase in patience. Allow me to practice patience in everyday life. I thank You that patience is a fruit You give us, and it’s something we can share with others around us. Help me practice patience at work, with finances, in relationships, and with family. I thank You, Lord, that I can become like You in everything I do. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit as I continue to walk in patience and in line with what You have called me to do. I love You, In Jesus’ name, Amen.
