Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You with an open heart and mind. Please grant me the gifts of patience and understanding. When my temper flares or my spirit feels restless, remind me of the peace that comes from waiting and listening.

Help me to pause and breathe, to see the bigger picture when my vision becomes clouded. Teach me to embrace differences with compassion, and to approach every situation with empathy and grace.

Guide me as I strive to be more patient with myself and others, knowing that Your timing is perfect and Your plans are beyond my understanding. Fill my heart with kindness, so that I may respond softly even in the toughest moments.

I trust in Your guidance, Lord. May Your wisdom dwell within me, nurturing patience and understanding throughout my life.

Amen.
