Fruit of the Spirit for Young ChildrenSample

Patience is waiting with a good attitude, even when it’s hard. It means being calm and understanding, especially when things don’t happen as quickly as we’d like. God is very patient with us, and He wants us to be patient with others.

Sometimes we have to wait for things, like waiting for a turn on the playground or waiting for a special event. Being patient means not getting upset while we wait. When we practice patience, we are showing love and respect for others and trusting God’s timing.

• Reflection Question: When do you find it hardest to be patient?
• Prayer: Dear God, help me to be patient like You. Amen.
