1 - READ THE WORD
The Perfect Call in Love
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
Romans 8:24-26

2 - Reflect
Today I woke up thinking about patience. As a result of a dream I had had the night before in which I was unable to free myself from the bonds I had in my hands, I don't know how I realized that the key was to be patient, to wait for that situation to be solved. So, this morning I meditated on what it means to be patient, and more specifically, what the Lord means when He asks us to cultivate patience.
Many times, in our eagerness to solve everything quickly, we are invaded by a feeling of desolation that we easily transform into resolving that “God has no time for me”.
At times, we may also have the perception that the Lord has abandoned us, because we feel that he does not answer our prayers immediately. In that way we may think that the delay is longer than we deserve because of the situation in which we find ourselves.
But nevertheless, one of the things that moves the Lord's transformation in us to gain a growing faith is the cultivation of patience. Let us not forget that the Lord desires us to develop the perseverance and faith necessary to serve Him with gratitude.
