HELP ME TO BE PATIENT

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus I was thinking about “patience”. Phillipians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” This past week I found myself being impatient: with my grandchildren. Impatient with projects, not getting accomplished, dishes in the sink, lots on my list to do. I really planned on blaming it on the pandemic, but in reality I’ve always struggled with patience. Most of all I noticed how impatient I am with myself. Today I am going to focus on being more patient, not being so anxious about things, but allow the Lord to bring each moment, each person, each experience to me and for me to EMBRACE IT it. I’m going to strive today not to be petty, Not to rush but to be present on the beautiful SUNDAY I am just getting ready to offer up my prayers And my mind just went to what do I do next After prayer, Do I have any waffles left,?where is my list to do? But I caught myself and came back to being one with HIM. That’s with the first five minutes of prayers are like It looks like this may be a long day learning to be patient., Darn I wanted it right now. Have a grace and patient filled day!
