Patience

For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord (James 5:10; NLT).

Lord Jesus,
Whatever we must face today,
Please help us to face it
The very best we can,
Enduring all things patiently –
Like you.

Lord Jesus,
Whatever we must do today,
Please help us to endure it
The very best we can,
Enduring all things patiently –
With you.

The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-3; NLT).
