Patience Proverb
Proverbs 14:29

When is it hard to have patience?

“Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don't lose hope. Wait for the Lord.”

Psalm 27:14, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• When is it hard to have patience?
• When does waiting seem the most difficult?
• What is one strategy you could use to have more patience when you’re waiting?

Prayer

“Dear God, You know how hard it is sometimes for us to WAIT. We get impatient when we must WAIT in line, WAIT for dinner, or WAIT for our turn in a game. We ask that You help us make WISE responses and not foolish reactions that hurt others and us. Give us the ability to WAIT for You with patience for the things we want now. Remind us this week that WAITING can make us WISE.
