Joyful in hope, patient in hard times, faithful in prayer.

A Bible affirmation for waiting to conceive, rooted in Romans 12:12.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

Romans 12:12 · BSB

Reflection

Paul packs a whole way of waiting into one line. Some days hope will feel joyful. Some days patience is all you have. Keep praying either way. God holds you on both kinds of days.

Lord, keep hope alive in me, give me patience for the hard days, and help me keep praying.
