First principle

Patience

Spirit fruit: patience.

This hour

Under fire

The next right hold — walk this hour.

  • Do not force the outcome or punish them for the clock.
  • Wait for the Lord. Do the one duty you own today.
  • Slow the reply. Soften the tone. You do not control their will.

Prayer

When you do not have the words.

  • Father, grow patience while I wait on You. Amen.

Truth

When you can read deeper — Scripture-rooted steel.

The fruit of the Spirit is patience.

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Love is patient and kind.
