Hope-patient-faithful

Romans 12:12 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Christians thrive with a confident mentality of absolute trust in God and His promises.  Even though being a Christian will not eliminate heartache and disappointment on this earth, yet a strong, loving relationship with our God will include conversing with Him very regularly.  What a marvel it is to communicate with God with the absolute assurance He carefully listens and responds.
