Life can throw storms our way, but Romans 12:12 gives us God’s recipe: be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. Joy is more than a feeling—it’s a confident expectation in God’s promises. Patience reminds us that Jesus is still on the throne, no matter the trial. Faithful prayer keeps us grounded, lifting our needs and the needs of others before the Lord. When we live this way, we discover peace and strength that the world can’t take away.
