Devotional Day 2 || The Power of Patience and Self-Control

Devotional: In our fast-paced world, patience can feel like a lost virtue. Yet, Scripture repeatedly emphasizes its importance. We're called to rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him, resisting the urge to fret or give in to anger. This patience isn't passive; it's an active trust in God's timing and sovereignty.

Self-control, a fruit of the Spirit, goes hand-in-hand with patience. When we lack self-control, we're prone to outbursts of anger that dishonor God and harm our relationships. Today, ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate patience and self-control in your life. In what situations do you most need these virtues? Pray for God's strength to respond with patience and self-control, especially in challenging circumstances.
