Patience is an important virtue that allows us to persevere through difficult times and wait for God's answers to prayers. It requires concentrating one's strength and clinging to faith even when being tossed about by suffering. While God's delays may seem frustrating, they are not denials - he is helping us even when we cannot see it and will come to those who wait for him. Having patience can help us grow in godliness and spirituality.

The God Perspective
The passage discusses Jesus' Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. It describes those who are blessed as being humble and dependent on God, patiently submitting to his will. Specifically, it says the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are poor in spirit, meek, and pure in heart. It contrasts this with those who prioritize rules and externals over internal godliness and grace.
Faith
The document contains a collection of quotes related to faith. It discusses how faith is needed to accept what Christ has done without fully understanding it. It also discusses how faith is strengthened rather than weakened during difficult times and emergencies. Another quote suggests that the greatest proof of faith is how far someone is willing to stake their life on their beliefs, not how well they can logically explain their reasons for believing.
The courage of religion
''And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one
day by the hand of Saul." — 1 Sam. 27 : 1.
BUT he did not perish by the hand of Saul.
He lived to pronounce a eulogy, and a
generous eulogy, upon his dead foe.
Saul perished first ; his attack seemed irresist-
ible, but it came to nothing, and David 's fear
proved vain.
Thus do even strong, religious natures often
make trouble for themselves out of a future
about which they know next to nothing.

The document contains several quotes about dealing with difficulties and having faith. It discusses how difficulties are evidence that you are on the right path. It also suggests that when things seem easy, that is when you should worry. Another quote says that God is there to catch you when you are at the end of your rope, but not before. A final quote notes that remembering that airplanes take off against the wind, not with it, can help when everything seems to be going against you.
Doubts
The document contains several quotes about doubt and faith. It discusses how doubt can lead to establishing truth through investigation or being ended by taking action. It also notes that feeding faith can cause doubt to starve, and getting to work can help doubts and fears leave. Prayer is seen as a choice to leave an opening for God when facing questions and doubts.
Discouragement
The people working to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem became fatigued, frustrated, and feared they could not complete the task. Their enemies also threatened to attack before the work was finished. However, Nehemiah overcame the people's discouragement by having them rest, rallying their support through organization, reminding them to remember God, and resisting the discouragement by continuing to fight for their families and homes.
Decisions
The document discusses various quotes about decision making. It provides advice on acting decisively, recognizing that important decisions may not receive immediate praise or recognition, and acknowledging that even small choices like ordering coffee can reflect aspects of personal identity. Additional quotes note that avoiding decisions can be dangerous, that seeing problems as decisions waiting to be made can solve them, and that the reasoning behind a decision is important. The consequences of decisions are also addressed, as are trusting God's guidance and wisdom in decision making over time.
Dream
The document contains quotes from various authors about dreams. It discusses how dreams inspire and motivate people to achieve great things. Dreams require courage to pursue and share with others. Living according to our dreams and pursuing our hopes requires faith and challenges our hearts. Dreams can provide meaning and guidance if we have the willingness to work towards making them a reality.
Community Core Course
The document discusses the importance of church and community for Christians. It emphasizes that the church is like a family and that Christians should be members of a local church family. It provides guidance on various aspects of church involvement like baptism, communion, worship, small groups, evangelism, and resolving conflicts.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Delays
- 1. Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius. Comte Georges-Louis Lecler (1707-1788)
- 2. We must wait for God, long, meekly, in the wind and wet, in the thunder and lightning, in the cold and the dark. Wait, and he will come. He never comes to those who do not wait. Frederick William Faber (1814-1863)
- 3. Second only to suffering, waiting may be the greatest teacher and trainer in godliness, maturity, and genuine spirituality most of us ever encounter. Richard Hendrix
- 4. Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength. Edward Bulwer-Lytton
- 5. Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. Barbara Johnson
- 6. Promises, though they be for a time seemingly delayed, cannot be finally frustrated.... the heart of God is not turned though His face be hid; and prayers are not flung back, though they be not instantly answered. Timothy Cruso
- 7. Dios tarda pero no olvida – God delays but doesn't forget . Spanish Proverb
- 8. The quickest way from A to B is not always at the most feverish pace. Dr. Phil McGraw
- 9. Patience permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord when we are tossed about by suffering as if by surf. When the undertow grasps us we will realize that we are somehow being carried forward even as we tumble. We are actually being helped even as we cry for help. Neal A. Maxwell
- 10. The principal part of faith is patience. George MacDonald
- 11. He may delay because it would not be safe to give us at once what we ask: we are not ready for it. To give before we could truly receive, would be to destroy the very heart and hope of prayer, to cease to be our Father. The delay itself may work to bring us nearer to our help, to increase the desire, perfect the prayer, and ripen the receptive condition. Edward Bulwer-Lytton
- 12. God often permits us to be perplexed so that we may learn patience. T.J. Bach
- 13. Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, ‘ Til you find your dream. Oscar Hammerstein (1895-1960)
