3 Bible Verses About Patience!


I’m continuing my series based on the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

I have to admit that patience, or forbearance, is still not my favorite Fruit of the Spirit. I’ve gotten much better with waiting on God over the years, but it can still be struggle.

How about you? Are you waiting for a breakthrough in your finances, health, or personal life?

We’re all waiting on God for something, so it’s important how we wait.

I’m grateful for the Holy Spirit’s supernatural patience that helps us as we wait with expectancy for God to move in our lives and to fulfill His promises to us.

In my book Waiting on God Well: How to Prevent Breaking Down on Your Way to Your Breakthrough I share insights I’ve learned while waiting as well as encouraging Bible verses, actions steps, and reflection questions to help you during your season of waiting.

Here are just 3 Bible verses to help you during your waiting season:

  • “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:13-14)
  • “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'” (Psalm 46:10)
  • “And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.” (Hebrews 6:15)

There’s no short cut to becoming a patient person. It comes with much prayer, surrender to God’s timing, much practice with having patience with people, and with trusting that God is faithful and that He will see you through!

Waiting on God isn’t easy, but it is worth it! Blessings to you as you patiently wait in faith for God to move in your life as He has promised in the Bible and to your heart!

Crossing Your Jordan River Book – Update!

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of my Crossing Your Jordan River readers and to share about some of the doors the Lord is opening for my trio of books.

I’m delighted to share that pre-signed copies of Crossing Your Jordan River, Waiting on God Well, and Abounding Faith are now available in a bookstore that just opened in Lomita, CA. It’s a blessing to know that my books are on the West Coast. Glory to God! I hope you’ll tell your California friends about Pipe & Thimble Bookstore. If you swing by the store, I’d love to see pics!

I’m also excited to share that a few of my local friends are going to start studying Crossing Your Jordan River tonight. God is so Good! I’m honored and humbled. As I’m writing my books, I’m never quite sure who is going to read them. And when I’m writing the questions at the end of each chapter, I can envision groups studying the books together but I never know who will be in those groups. I’m grateful that I get to join my friends as they launch out on their faith journey together.

I’m also touched to know that my friends at Woodcrest Nursing Home and Rehab center are also studying Crossing Your Jordan River.

As you can tell, my readers are special to me. I love seeing photos of my readers. Here are just a few:

If my books have been a blessing to you, please feel free to snap a pic with your book and email it to me at info@AboundingFaith.com or post it on Abounding Faith’s Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram page. Kind and short Amazon reviews are also always appreciated.

I look forward to sharing more updates with you! Please stay tuned for more info about Abounding Faith’s fall event(s).

In the meantime, be sure to pick up copies of Crossing Your Jordan River, Waiting on God Well, and Abounding Faith in print or on Kindle on Amazon and tell your friends and small group or book club members about the trio. Once you all have your copies, why not consider hosting an Abounding Faith Book Social this summer? You can learn more about Abounding Faith Book Socials here.

Thanks for all of your support and encouragement! Blessings to you as you dare to live your God-given dreams and wait on God to fulfill His promises to you!
