Verse of the Day: Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

The Christian life is not always easy. Jesus Himself acknowledged that we would encounter difficulties, yet assured us of the peace found in His victory over the world (John 16:33). Our joy comes from the hope we have in Jesus Christ, as recipients of salvation with the promise of eternity in heaven. In times of trial, patience becomes a virtue, knowing that our faith is strengthened as we rely on God for healing, comfort, provision, and peace. Amidst the chaos of the world, maintain faithfulness in prayer, especially during tribulations. Instead of being overcome by discouragement, take every concern, fear, and doubt straight to the throne of God.
