Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Patience is the opposite of worry. It’s remaining calm and trusting that God has a purpose and a plan behind whatever trial or frustration you’re facing. In times that test your patience, be thankful to God for what you do have, and for the grace that He has shown you. Keep praying, making your requests known to God, because there’s no request that goes unheard, and no prayer that He can’t answer. To be patient in a season doesn’t mean hiding your burden of stress, but rather, giving it to the Lord.

Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Don’t get tired of doing good things for God. Always be ready to follow His will and do the things He wants you to do. An evidence of your faith being alive is that love, joy, peace, patience, and many other fruits of the Spirit will be produced naturally by you. The good fruit your life bears makes the world a better place and makes our Father in heaven smile. Be patient during your life on earth, and never tire of doing good things with the time the Lord has given to you

Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.

Christ has the power to save, and the power to heal. There is nothing your God can’t do, and if it’s in His will, He can heal sickness and cure disease. However, no matter what He chooses to do, be content and recognize that what the Lord allows, He allows for His purposes. Some of the most inspiring stories are ones where people faced a terrible crisis of health, but instead of letting it wear down their spirit, they used every minute to glorify God. Whether the Lord chooses to intervene or not, He is close to those who cry out to Him, and there is no situation, no matter how hopeless, where He can’t show His goodness.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Christ lives within you. When you repented and asked Him to wash away your sins, you accepted God into your heart, and with that became a “temple” of the His spirit. A temple is an important place, and your body should be treated as such! To defile your body is to let God’s temple fall into disrepair; so in whatever you do with your life and body, bring glory to God. Your body is the temporary vessel God has provided for you to walk through life, so use it wisely!

Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

You’ve got a mission here on earth; a mission that the Father has given to you uniquely. Who knows what His plans are for your life, but whatever the future may hold, be ready to serve God in whatever way He calls you. The Word implores that you offer your body and life as a sacrifice to God; a lump of clay that He can mold into whatever He wants. By doing this, you aren’t

conformed to the same patterns and limitations as the rest of the world. Instead, you become a tool for God; a chisel that He can use to change lives and give shape to His plans.

Psalm 139:13-14
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

God made you, weaving you together in your mother’s womb before anyone else knew what you would be like. He made you just the way you are, fearfully and wonderfully, with all the quirks and traits that you might love or hate. It’s your duty to take care of that wonderful creation so that you can live the life God wanted you to live. You may not have control over your time on earth; at any moment the Lord could call you home. But while you’re here, live every day as a new creation, woven together by the one true God and born again through your redemption in Christ.
