Day 9: Romans 12:12
Romans 12:12 calls us to a way of living that is not always easy: finding joy in hope, patience in trials, and faithfulness in prayer. It’s natural to feel worn out when troubles seem to come one after another. But God invites us to a different response—one anchored in hope, patience, and prayer. Hope in Him is never misplaced because He is faithful, and His timing is always perfect.

Being patient in affliction means trusting that God is at work, even in difficult seasons. This patience is not passive; it is filled with quiet trust and steady faith, rooted in God’s promise to be with us. Prayer is what connects us to God’s strength, renews our hope, and reminds us that we are not alone.

Today, ask God to fill you with His hope and patience. Lean on Him for strength as you wait on His timing. Whatever challenges you face, trust that He sees you, loves you, and is working all things together for your good.

Prayer
Dear God, fill me with your hope today. It seems like trouble keeps coming, and I’m trying to be patient. Strengthen me and give me wisdom to trust in your timing so that I keep my hope in you alone. Thank you for being worthy of my hope and praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
