Romans 12v12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayerLet us put a special emphasis today on being patient in affliction. It is the state of being in pain. Here, the verse refers to a particular form of affliction. It is a period where one goes through challenges and sometimes feels that he or she will not make it. Then Paul is telling us that, the best character to have during affliction is the character of Patience. Patience is the aptitude of waiting and being calm while waiting for something we expect or while going through challenges. With God, Patience is not just about waiting, but having the virtue of being at rest! Being at rest is a posture that every Christian should adopt, knowing that God might be sleeping in their boat during storms, yet he is aware of what is happening and will take care. Stress, anxiety, and depression are the opposite of being at rest, that is peace. Stress is a way of telling God that you don’t trust Him, and you think that He might fail. He is referred to as, the God Who Never Fails! Fear and stress are to the devil, just as Faith is to God. It is not easy to be calm when oceans rise, but it is a mindset you can choose to impose on your spirit! As of today take the decision not to let any challenge be tough enough to make you fear, stress, or doubt!

Prayer: Lord, I have difficulties in putting my trust in You, and relying on You. I don’t even know how to trust in somebody. Please Father, as You come and heal my wounds teach my Heart how to trust in You be it during storms or not.

Amen

Your Sister, Eden.
