Saturday, October 18

Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you.—Luke 11:9.

 

Do you need more patience? If so, pray for it. Patience is an aspect of the fruitage of the spirit. (Gal. 5:22, 23) So we can pray for holy spirit and ask Jehovah to help us cultivate its fruitage. If we face a situation that tests our patience, we “keep on asking” for holy spirit to help us be patient. (Luke 11:13) We can also ask Jehovah to help us see matters from his point of view. Then after praying, we need to do our best to be patient each day. The more we pray for patience and strive to be patient, the more this quality will take root in our heart and become part of our personality. It also helps to meditate on Bible examples. The Bible contains many examples of people who were patient. By meditating on those accounts, we can learn ways to demonstrate patience. w23.08 22 ¶10-11

Patience

 

Patience doesn’t grow in comfort—it grows in conflict. So pray for it, not just once, but every time your limits are tested. Ask Jehovah to let you see the moment through His eyes, then act like the answer has already begun. The more you ask, the deeper it roots, until patience stops being something you reach for and starts being who you are.
