You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.9Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.10As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.11Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:9-11
So many of the prophets had to endure hardships and were patient in them not just looking for a light at the end of the tunnel but looking for the Lord. What a blessing to find that God is compassionate...He is genuinely moved by our situations and hardships and He is merciful....He is not looking to punish us for our mistakes but shows mercy.
