What are some bible verses that refer to patience?

Answer 1

JEHOVAH told Abram: “Go your way out of your country . . . to the country that I shall show you; and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great.” (Genesis 12:1, 2) Abram was then 75 years old. He obeyed and wisely exercised patience the rest of his life, waiting on Jehovah.

Eventually, God made this promise to patient Abraham (Abram): “Assuredly in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply you.” The apostle Paul added: “And thus after Abraham had shown patience, he obtained this promise.”—Hebrews 6:13-15.

What is patience? Dictionaries define it as the ability “to wait calmly for something” or to manifest “forbearance under provocation or strain.” So your patience is put to the test when you have to wait for someone or something, or when you are provoked or under stress. In such situations the patient person remains composed; the impatient one becomes hasty and irritable.Many people think that patience indicates indecisiveness or weakness. To Jehovah, however, it bears the insignia of strength. He himself “is patient . . . because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) To fortify your own forbearance, therefore, stick close to Jehovah and rely on him with all your heart. Strengthening your relationship with God is the single most important step toward developing a patient disposition.

Moreover, it is vital to know Jehovah’s purposes for the earth and mankind. Abraham “was awaiting the city having real foundations [God’s Kingdom], the builder and maker of which city is God.” (Hebrews 11:10) Similarly, it will be beneficial to keep a clear view of divine promises and to be content to wait upon Jehovah. You will then realize that patience, far from denoting hesitancy, actually wins people to true worship. Hence, “consider the patience of our Lord as salvation.”—2 Peter 3:15.

What if your own personal circumstances test your patience almost unbearably? Do unbelievers put you under harrowing strain? Have you been ill for what seems an interminably long time? In such a case, take to heart what the disciple James wrote. After referring to the pattern the prophets supplied in exercising patience, he revealed the secret of remaining calm under severe stress. James said: “Is there anyone suffering evil among you? Let him carry on prayer.”—James 5:10, 13.

Earnestly ask God in prayer to fortify your patience and help you control your spirit under trial. Turn to Jehovah repeatedly, and he will help you identify the circumstances or the habits of others that pose a particular threat to your composure. Praying in advance of potentially trying situations can help you to keep calm.
