The Fruit of Patience in a Winter Season — A Nighttime Prayer


1x
“Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” -- James 5:7-8 (ESV)

Please Pray:

Trustworthy Father, 

Thank you for pursuing me with the patience, longsuffering, and love of a Faithful Father when I stray and struggle to surrender my will. I’m so grateful that by abiding in You, I can flourish with the fruits of the Spirit by Your power—not my own strength. Help me stay connected with You when it feels like I’m in a long winter season and not producing fruit that I can see. I pray for peace to rest in Your promises, trusting that You are doing the unseen work that will produce a fruitful harvest in Your timing. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

    Renée Gotcher is a freelance writer and editor, a wife of 30 years and “retired” homeschooling mother of three daughters, and an outdoor-loving Colorado transplant who’s called the scenic town of Castle Rock her home for the past 14 years. A recovering perfectionist/overachiever who was blindsided by debilitating physical anxiety twelve years ago, Renée shares her journey to relieve anxiety, restore peace, and revive hope by stepping outside for sacred walks with her Savior on her blog, The Pace of Grace. She invites readers to stop striving to overcome anxiety alone and walk with God at His pace on the path to healing. Her latest published work appears in the recently released devotional book "Life Changing Stories: A Devotional Collection Revealing God’s Faithfulness and Transforming Power."
