be joyful in hope,
patient in affliction and
faithful in prayer
When you start your day with your tablet on the online Bible Gateway and the verse of the day is Romans 12:12, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” and all I have to do is add the word ‘and’ to get to a 5 – 7- 5 syllable ratio (which I know is not the true definition of a haiku – see my section on ‘What is …’ ) it was too good to not use.
Be joyful in hope.
Patient in affliction.
Faithful in prayer.
In a time of oh-what-can-i-do-oh-what-can-i-do, it kind of sums it up.
As I already added an ‘and’ might I suggest to add a snippet from the Psalms?
Be joyful in hope.
Patient in affliction.
Faithful in prayer.
Be still, and know that I am God.
