Patient

"Be Joyful in hope,

Patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."Romans 12:12

Hope, Patience, and Faithfulness are things we keep hearing almost always from someone around us. But something that’s really challenged me in this verse are the actions that come before and after those common words.

Often in our lives we tend to forget that we could Rejoice in our confident hope in Christ and not worry about what tomorrow may bring.

We forget to be patient in troubled times and tend to worry and try to solve it by ourselves.

And the most important thing of all is that we forget to be faithful and keep on praying but instead just kind of mention the problem once to God and move on with our lives.

The question is "Have we forgotten what it is to really apply this verse in our day to day lives?"
