A Prayer For Patience

O Precious Savior, Wonderful Lord, In-filling Holy Spirit�
Thank you Lord Jesus for this moment of sharing as I kneel down in the glow of your love and mercy.
Thank you for my ability to work, to play, to plan, and to be your child.
In these times of my distress, please give me patience.
I seek your power to be patient as the ways of the world seem to assault me.
I seek your power to be patient with the people with whom I work and live.
I seek your power to be patient as I await your appearing again upon the earth.
I seek your power to be patient with the aches, pains, sufferings, and adversities of my life.
I know there is a proper time for all things.
I know I can cast upon you all my burdens.
When I am exasperated and feel the heat of anger because things are not working as I think they should�touch my heart and instill your patience within me.
Help me be still and know of your presence.
When the frustrations of life overtake me because of goals I have not achieved, remind me your goals are my true destiny.
When disappointment rages within me over failures and setbacks, show me how all things done in your name are successful in your eyes.
When the pain of life consumes me, show me the future.
As I hold dear to all you have for me in the future, show me the time of rejoicing and singing in your name is just ahead.
When I am confined in the prison of my doubts and uncertainties, show me how waiting upon you yields blessings so numerous all the seas of the earth cannot hold them all.
In the name of the Precious Savior, Wonderful Lord God, and the In-filling Holy Spirit upon whom we can rely.
Amen
