Patience is the bulldog that sinks it’s teeth into something and refuses to let go. Patience flips the switch of faith on and will not turn the switch off until answered prayer shows up. Many times the object of our faith is right around the corner but discouragement dispatched from the enemy neutralizes our patience and we give up, cave in and quit. I’d like to encourage you to allow patience to have her perfect work. For in doing so, you will discover a life where lack is non-existent (James 1:4).

Trial tested faith produces patience. And standing on the other side of the door of patience is a life of completeness. A life of maturity which lacks nothing (James 1:4). But first things first. To fully engage patience we need to know with all certainty that our heavenly Father loves us. He has our best interest at heart. Once these are settled we can endure tests, trial, and temptations knowing that a God who loves us will use the good fruit of patience to draw us closer to Himself.

Keep hope alive when you run up against the challenges of life. Doing so will help you to look beyond your present circumstances to the victory which lies beyond your challenge. Hope, backed up by faith, with a side of patience is a combination that will never fail. I’d like to encourage you today to keep your hope alive. Focus on the end result of answered prayer and not the current situation. No force on the face of this earth can stand when hope, faith and patience are at work.

Patience is the most important element when it comes to answered prayer. A cake left in the oven for 10 minutes makes a horrible dessert. The dough is warm and crusty in some areas. It’s gooey in other areas and it will probably make you sick if you eat too much of it. Only a cake left in the oven for a full 60 minutes can be enjoyed the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Likewise, when you pray, allow patience to run it’s course. God knows precisely when to take your prayer cake out of the even. And when He does, it will be enjoyed by all who taste it!

Answered prayer can be looked upon as a journey most of the time. Although we serve a sovereign God who holds the right to answer our prayers immediately, most of the time answered prayer manifests in our lives over time.
