Patience

PATIENCE

God, let me understand that I don’t understand everything and give me the clarity to let go when I need to.

Give me patience and the ability to be at peace with where I am and what’s going on around me. Surround me with Your kindness at every moment and let me feel You holding me so that even when it is scary I know that I’m not alone.

Give me the capacity and ability to not only be patient with life but also with others and mostly with myself. Let me feel Your love as we go on this journey and hold my hand so that I feel Your guidance.

Give me patience, strength, and courage so that when I fall, I fall with dignity. Let me receive comfort from Your loving hands and give me the strength to get up again.
