Lord, Help Us With Our Patience

“Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very                                   pitiful (compassionate), and of tender mercy.”

-James 5:11-

Our Father, which art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  Lord, you are patient, and you are the God of patience. We know that the trying of our faith, worketh patience.  We are asking that you help us develop patience in our daily lives. For there are many times we are/become impatient, with the matters of life, but we ask you to help us to remain calm in circumstances. For, Patience must have its perfect work. Truth is, patience is being able to wait and endure. Lord as you are helping us with our patience, please guide and teach us to wait and endure when faced with challenges, obstacles, or issues.  For we know if we glory in tribulation (challenges/obstacles/issues), then the tribulation works patience, and patience, experience; hope. We must lay aside every weight, and the sin(s) that easily make us stumble, and run with patience to the race that you, God have set up for us. We must follow after patience, along with godliness, faith, love, and meekness. Lord we ask you to help us with patience in our attitudes, as we deal with individuals who are/can be challenging as we interact with them daily. Lord we ask for patience when it seems like in our eyes, our enemies are prospering, and we feel we have been overlooked by society, when we have been faithful to the task or assignments you have called us to. But Lord we know, for after we have done your will God, we know we (righteous) will receive the promise.

Your servant Job, was a great man of patience, as he endured his affliction, and we desire to follow after his example of having patience.  Lord, help us with our patience.

Respectfully submitted,

Your Servants
