Patience Is Hard | Sun Valley Daily Devotional

In today’s devotional, Justin Martz emphasizes the significance of a life centered around God and relationships. Drawing from the inspiring words of Ephesians 4:1-3, we learn the power of humility, patience, and love. By following the ways of Jesus, we promote peace and draw more people into the Kingdom.

We believe that everybody matters to God. No matter who you are, what you’ve done, what's been done to you - God loves you just as you are. God has demonstrated this love by meeting us right where we are through the person of Jesus and by giving His life on the cross to pay the debt of sin that we couldn’t pay ourselves. When we couldn’t work our way to God, God worked his way to us through the person of Jesus. In light of the incredible gift, we exist to help people meet, know and follow Jesus.

Thank you, Justin, for praying for us all. There is no greater unifier in the family of God than to lift our hearts to Him together as His children. Your message today was a great reminder, too.

Thank you for bringing back the prayer at the end of the devotional. It’s very grounding to ask God for his help.

❤🎉Thank you so very much for the prayer and verse in the devotional Justin! Yay God! Being patient is very difficult... Lol. I'm working on that in CR. I phrase it as "not jumping". Rebecca sounds super wise. God knew y'all needed each other! My grandma, whose gone to be with Jesus, used to say, "Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can. Seldom found in woman, but never found in man..." At her celebration of life ceremony, the whole crowd called it out. Priceless memories. Joyous memories. When I want to jump, I recite that back to myself and smile. Even as a woman, I really really struggle with patience, so for all you men out there-I can't imagine the difficulty you face😂😅❤! I will pray you through it though! Heavenly Trinity, you rock my world and my cup runneth over. I want for nothing because you provide the very air I breathe. Thank you for everything. Help me to learn to listen for your quiet voice saying go and do instead of the world, my friends, my family, my children or myself yelling, "Go, go, go, go, go, " and jumping and doing. Please forgive me when I listen to the wrong voice. Thank you for your grace. Jesus, you are so awesome! You get me and love me anyway! Holy Spirit please guide me and nudge me. Place a guard about my mouth because I often need a muzzle. Here's my remote... Again. In Jesus's mighty and precious name I pray, Amen.
