Rejoice in Patience & Prayer // Romans 12:12

Today’s verse is perhaps one worthy of printing to keep handy, save to your phone, and/or share with someone going through difficulties. The Apostle Paul shared his basic three-step formula for dealing with difficulties: (1) rejoice because you have a future and hope in Jesus; (2) stay patient when bad times come, because the worst things in life can never be the last thing you face; and (3) always keep praying, because that is your lifeline to eternal perspective and purpose. Give this three-step process some of your attention if you are facing a hard time today. God is with you, so rejoice! Keep patient to maintain your focus. And never quit praying, since the Lord is always there and eager to help.
