Prayer for patience

Dear Heavenly Father,

In moments of impatience and frustration, I turn to you for guidance and strength. Grant me the patience to endure trials with grace and the wisdom to recognize the value of waiting.

Teach me to trust in your timing, knowing that your plans are perfect and your ways are higher than mine. Help me to surrender my desire for immediate results and to embrace the process of growth and refinement.

Fill me with your Spirit, that I may exhibit the fruits of patience—kindness, gentleness, and self-control—in all areas of my life. May I reflect your character to those around me, especially in moments of tension and conflict.

Guide me in cultivating a patient heart, one that is steadfast and unwavering in the face of adversity. Help me to persevere in prayer and to wait expectantly for your answers, knowing that you are faithful to fulfill your promises.

Thank you, Father, for your patience with me, even when I fall short and fail to trust in your timing. May I learn from your example and extend the same patience and grace to others.

In Jesus name, I pray.

Amen.
