God, Give Me Patience

Reflect

Have you ever lost your cool while waiting in line, stuck in traffic, or in a difficult meeting at work? It happens to all of us. But, with God’s help, we can become more patient and accepting of frustrating situations.


Pray

Dear God,
I need your help.
I’m always rushing around
to get from Point A to Point B,
and whenever someone or something
gets in the way,
I get upset
and sometimes even lash out
in anger.

Guide me to be more like Christ,
who endured suffering patiently,
even lovingly.
Amen.


Act

The next time you feel your patience running out, envision the Stations of the Cross. It might help you put things into perspective.
