Ever been warned to not pray for patience? “You’ll be tested and then you’ll get more than you bargained for.”
But did you know you already have patience? It is an integral part of the fruit of the Spirit. Those that have put on the Spirit, through baptism, and continue to live by the Spirit, reap the benefits of its fruit.
An orange tree yields oranges. Pears come from pear trees... And you would never hunt for peaches in an apple tree.
So why do I seek joy outside of the Spirit? Can I truly be kind to others without the Spirit’s help? Self-control is a misnomer if I am attempting it on my own.
That prayer for patience? Try keeping in step with the Spirit and watch what happens...
Galatians 5:22-25
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
