Job

Father, remind me to be patient until my Lord’s return. Remind me of how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient for it until it receives the early and late rains. I also must be patient and strengthen my heart, for the Lord’s return is near. I will try not to grumble against others so that I may not be judged. For the judge stands before the gates! As an example of suffering and patience remind me of the prophets who spoke in the your name. I will think of how I regard as blessed those who have endured. I will remember Job’s endurance and will recognize your purpose, that you are full of compassion and mercy. May your name be blessed forevermore! Amen.

James 5
