THE OIL OF GRACE FOR PATIENCE
Life often throws challenges our way, testing our patience and resilience. During these times, the Oil of Grace equips us with the strength to persevere. Patience isn’t about passively waiting for things to get better; it’s about actively trusting God’s plan even amidst difficulties. Through prayer and reliance on His grace, we develop the endurance to navigate difficult situations with hope and perseverance, ultimately becoming stronger and more mature in our faith journey.
