"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12

I count my blessings.

I have no reason to be in tribulation. But I am.
Maybe I just don't know what tribulation is.

Or maybe this is just as close to tribulation as I've ever been before...

I'm finding it difficult to rejoice. I'm trying, but the joy just isn't flowing like I know it should be.
And patience? That's almost laughable.

And prayer.
Oh, prayer...

This one small verse in Romans contains all I need.
All the answers.

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12

Its simple in word, but harder in application.
Where do I start, or restart, rather?

I guess I've already begun... I'm just being impatient.
Impatient in tribulation. Reluctant to rejoice.  Sporadic and self-centered in prayer.
