10 Verses on Patience
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. -Romans 12:12
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. – Psalm 37: 7-9
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:31
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger – James 1:19
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11
And endurance produces character, and character produces hope – Romans 5:4
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness – Galatians 5:22
With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone. – Proverbs 25:15
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us – Hebrews 12:1
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus – Romans 15:5

I just want to say how encouraging this post was. The past week has been a difficult at one since children test your patience to begin with but this week (even though it is only Tuesday) has me completely worn out. Scripture is always a nice place to go when you need to be reminded and encouraged.

Thank you for sharing these! I really have to work on my patience (and it is very, very difficult for me haha.) I especially loved “And endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” I find that to be especially true.
