This short and to the point verse hold much power.
Be joyful in hope. When we live for Christ, we have a joy and a hope that the world or another human cannot offer us. The joy and hope of Christ are eternal, not temporal.
Be patient in affliction. Trials will pass. We are made stronger in affliction. And we have peace in knowing God is there throughout the difficulties.
Be faithful in prayer. The Lord desires to converse with us each and every day. He delights in time spent with us through prayer and worship.
