I’ve learned four things about how to patiently endure difficult things:
- Expressing gratitude and actively hunting for the new morning mercies of God. (Lamentations 3 and 1 Thessalonians 5)
- Having faith in the unseen and that God is working for our good. (Romans 8)
- Gathering with friends who support and carry us. (Hebrews 3)
- Living for eternity since this is not our home. We are made for heaven. (Philippians 3:20: “Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”)
