The Bible has much to stay about patience, and while it can be incredibly difficult to remain patient, we can trust that God knows all, is in all, and will work through all for His kingdom.

Here is a list of Bible verses that have helped me stay patient in difficult situations and remain obedient to God’s Word.

God has made it clear that those who are patient will be blessed, and I hope that these verses encourage you to stay steadfast in whatever season you’re currently in.

All verses are from the New American Standard Bible.

And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied.

Rejoice on that day and jump for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to treat the prophets the same way.
