Galatians 5: 22-23a (Patience in Prayer)
Galatians 5: 22-23a
Galatians 5: 22-23a mentions patience. How can that help us in prayer?
Patience in Prayer
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Galatians 5:22-23a
One of the fruits of the spirit is patience. Prayers can feel stressful and unfruitful when they are more of a rushed to-do list. When it is a quiet, meditative time with God, then prayer is peaceful and strengthening. Patience is an essential part of prayer. (November 1, 2020)
