Decisions and the future
Patience
Waiting without despairing, when things take time or do not happen right away.
What the Bible can tell you
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
Romans 12:12
Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
James 5:7
Let's not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don't give up.
Galatians 6:9
A human reading
Patience is not resignation; it is persevering with hope. Many good things need time to mature. Breathing and taking one step each day helps you sustain it.
