Romans 12:12
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
Understanding this passage
Hope here is a practice, not a personality trait. Stay in it, stay patient, and keep praying while the night lasts.
Why this verse helps
When you cannot feel hope, you can still do these three things. They keep you turned toward God until joy returns.
A prayer for you
Lord, make me joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. Amen.
