Dear Lord, I ask that you help me make it through today with patience, understanding, and calmness in my heart. I ask that you replace any darkness in my life with light and my frustrations with joy. I ask these things in Jesus’s name, amen.

Life is unpredictable. Situations will move at their own pace, especially the ones we have no control over. We find ourselves at times, angry at a possible scenario in a situation that hasn’t even happen yet. Then, the exact opposite happens. Looking back at the thoughts wasted and false anguish, we’re all better off with patience and an open mind.

Sometimes a goal in life we’re striving for seems dim or becomes unreachable. Direction has suddenly changed so fast we’re left with aimless thoughts and confusion. Don’t be troubled! You’ve proved to yourself that you have the drive. Your new direction will come with patience. Each of us needs time to rest our heart and mind before we reach the next mountain.

The right path in life will always come with patience. It’s when we reach an understanding that everything happens in God’s time that we walk the right path.
