Summary: In this study, we examine how Christians are called to remain patient and steadfast in trouble, as discussed in Romans 12:11-12. When difficulties arise, it is easy to become discouraged, but God calls us to rejoice in hope, be patient in trouble, and continue to pray. This perseverance in the face of challenges is a vital part of living out our Christian duties.
