In the midst of chaos:
But that isn't very patient, is it?
So I found this. And I am going to pray this a lot!
But I can't win a stubborn match against a two year old. (especially mine!) He's taking two meds right now for his arm. He's itchy...he's crabby..he's acting like it, too. I need to be a better momma. I don't want to be impatient. I don't want to get easily annoyed. And I really don't want to raise my voice. That's why I need the prayer for patience.
Lord, give me patience,
and
give it to me now!

A PRAYER FOR PATIENCEThe stubbornness part is very accurate. Too accurate, I should say.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Praise be given to Your Holy name for Your forbearance
and mercy.
You have dealt gently with Your
children in love.
You have been patient with me
in my humanness and stubbornness.
Lord, through
the work of Your Spirit, prompt me to be more jubilant in hope, more patient in
times of trouble, and more consistent in my prayer life.
Teach me, Lord, to wait with faith and expectancy, and may my
trials be seen as times for growth in grace.
Through Christ our Lord, I pray. Amen
