We pray for God's power — but what if He's already answering? In this message, we explore one of the most misunderstood gifts in the Christian life: patience. Not the gritted-teeth, white-knuckle kind, but a joyful, God-empowered endurance that transforms the way we experience trials, relationships, and seasons of waiting. Drawing from Colossians 1:11, Romans 5:3–5, and James 1:3–4, we unpack three profound truths:
Patience is Empowered — It isn't something you manufacture. It's the direct result of God's glorious power at work in you.
Patience is Glorious — Suffering produces a chain reaction that leads to a hope that will never disappoint, sealed by the love of God.
Patience is Completing — Patience is a craftsman, and you are the piece being shaped. Your one job? Let her work.
If you're in a season of waiting — in a difficult relationship, a hard circumstance, or an unanswered prayer — this message is for you.
