Moreover, it reveals a double standard on my part, as I appreciate and even expect your patience with me, yet fail to demonstrate that same patience with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remind me that I am not the one in control. I do not govern time or dictate how others perceive or manage it either. Instead, give me the grace to wait patiently. Open my eyes to see when it is my own lack of planning or preparation that is part of the problem, and help me to give more attention to such details initially so that they don\u2019t pave the way for my impatience later on. As I wait on progress or growth from others, and I don\u2019t perceive it to be happening as quickly as I would like, help me instead to appreciate the variety and uniqueness with which you have created every human being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I feel my impatience growing, slow my speedy expectations and replace them with the joyful appreciation of time to wait, reflect, and simply enjoy the blessings of being present in those moments. Thank you, Lord, for your patience with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Jesus\u2019 name I pray. Amen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To Overcome My Impatience Patient Lord,I ask you to forgive my impatience, which often translates into rash responses.
