I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. (Psalm 40:1)
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. (James 1:3)

Testing produces patience

Patience is important in our relationships with others and in enduring the trials of life. We need to cultivate patience so that we can endure trials and see them as opportunities for growth. Many times when trials come, we become impatient with God, doubt His intervention, and decline in our spirits. We need to ask the Lord for patience and arm ourselves with strength to endure trials and remain in prayer until the trial passes, believing that God has a purpose in every situation. When we patiently wait for Jehovah, He will bring us out of the test and put our feet on a rock. Read more...

Luis Alfredo RamĂ­rez Cano: Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. With faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and knowing that before we ask, our Father who is in heaven already knows what we need, and He in His perfect will and purpose has the solution to our tribulations in store for us every day. Our trust must be in God the Father, not in men or in our own strength. His plans are always above all our expectations, it is we who, with our present and moving away from Him, delay or lose our blessings.
