Patience

Instead of making New Year resolutions I have seen a lot of people do a word for the year. They pray for God to show them a word to have for the year. I have always loved the idea but have never done it. Well God decided I should do it this year. Laying in bed this morning spending time with God I just kept hearing the word patience. It took me a while but I realized God was telling me He wanted to give me a word for this 2013 year. I can only imagine what this year will bring with this word. Already He has exposed a lot of things to me and it was just one morning! Im excited but also a part of me is not looking forward to it if Im honest. I know in my heart this will be a hard year for me with this word. I have a feeling God will really be molding me. I will surrender though and that is all the step I need right now. Psalm 37:7-9 New Living Translation (NLT) 7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. 8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. 9 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land. Ecclesiastes 7:8 New Living Translation (NLT) 8 Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride.

  1. I am praying for you. I feel like my word "simplicity" kind of goes hand it hand with patience. Still trying to figure that out.
