Bible Verses About Patience

Scripture for the waiting seasons — verses on patience, endurance, and trusting God's timing.

Waiting is hard, holy work. The Bible treats patience not as passive resignation but as active trust — a settled confidence that God's timing is good, even when it is slow.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Psalm 37:7, KJV
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:4, KJV
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9, KJV

The harvest comes in due season — keep going.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:12, KJV
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Romans 8:25, KJV
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Lamentations 3:25, KJV

God is not slow; he is thorough. What feels like delay is often his patience at work in us — and the waiting itself is rarely wasted.
