Patience
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing (James: 1:4) Lord blessed Job with everything. After few years Job was tested; he lost everything, his possessions, even his dearest children but he did not grumble. He only repeated aloud saying that what God had given, God had taken away; blessed be His holy name (Job 1:21) Due to Job’s patience, he was rewarded with twice as much as he had before (Job: 42:10) If we are patient, God will reward us as he rewarded Job. In trails and troubles you need to turn to God. If Jesus had no patience, he would have not died for our sins. So we must imitate our good and patient Master. Sometimes diseases or failures in life may affect us, we should not brood over them or lose hope but with great patience and grace of God face those problems. You could recall the scientists like Isaac Newton, Galileo and Madam Curie who were successful after repeated failures, because they had patience.

Prayer:
Father, remove all the discouragement from my heart and give me grace to have patience, in Jesus Name. Amen
