In a world where there are constant tasks, duties and many “hats to wear”, we sometimes miss out on those golden opportunities because we were so focused on crossing off another item on our to do list in life. We’re in a hurry to be in a hurry if that makes any sense whatsoever. Slow down. Listen. Change your pace. It will be the blessing of a lifetime. You won’t want to cross that item off your life. You will want it there forever to savor.

Patience Prayer
Precious Lord,
I sit before you humbled that you have always been patient with me. After all, you know how often I’ve moved forward spiritually only to take my eyes off you…time and time again. Yet, you always wait patiently for me to look toward you once more. I want you to be my role model in this do-over of my character, especially my patience! I marvel at how patient you were when you were wrongly accused, beaten nearly to death, and sent to the cross to die. Thank you for having such enormous patience, even during the worst of situations. It’s well past time that I ask you for some of your patience to rub off on me. Thank you in advance for continuing to help me.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
