DAY 4 – PATIENCE

Moment of Praise Worship

Read the Word:

• Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
• Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NKJV) – The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
• Colossians 3:12 (NIV) – Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Patience is not just the ability to wait; it is how we behave while waiting. The Holy Spirit cultivates in us a long-suffering spirit that does not retaliate or give way to anger when wronged. Patience empowers us to endure difficulties and delays without losing faith or lashing out. Without patience, love cannot mature, faith cannot grow, and relationships cannot thrive.

Patience is also a reflection of God’s nature in us. God has been patient with humanity through generations, showing mercy where judgment could have been executed. When the Spirit develops patience in us, we reflect this divine nature by extending grace to others, even when they test or hurt us. Patience creates space for God to work in us and through us, instead of us rushing to act in the flesh.

Moreover, patience prepares us for destiny. Many promises of God unfold over time, not instantly. Impatience can rob us of blessings because it tempts us to act outside of God’s timing. The Spirit teaches us to wait, trust, and endure, knowing that what God has promised will surely come. Patience is not weakness — it is Spirit-enabled strength.

CONFESSION

I confess that the Holy Spirit clothes me with patience. I will wait upon the Lord without complaining, without fear, and without anger. I walk in the strength to endure trials, delays, and offenses with a calm and trusting heart.

PRAYER FOCUS

Holy Spirit, empower me with the gift of patience. Break the hold of anger, frustration, and pride in me. Teach me to wait upon the Lord without grumbling, to endure trials without giving up, and to show mercy even when wronged. I yield to Your timing and trust in Your perfect plan for my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
