The Strength of a Gentle Spirit
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.—Romans 8:25 ESV
Sometimes God feels far away and His promises seem as if they’ll never be fulfilled. Though it’s not easy, be patient! Replace your doubt with faith and ask God to help You keep calm as you wait.
Heavenly Father, give me enduring patience to match Your perfect timing.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
