Yesterday I received this beautiful prayer in an e-mail from beliefnet.com. Because it spoke directly to my heart I wanted to share it with you.
A Prayer for Patience
God, thank you for this day.
This beautiful, amazing day.
Here again, with You, for You, today.
God, give me patience to endure the hardships of this day.
Help me to see that they, too are great blessings in disguise.
Let me see the pain and difficulty as ways of coming to know You,
Dear Lord God.
God who loves me so, who looks for me,
And cares for me.
All this beautiful day.
I will be with You, God, always – as You are always with me in all ways.
Amen
This prayer is beautifully written. It is right about so many things.
First, today is an amazing day. Every day is amazing because life is an amazing gift.
Second, we always need the gift of patience, me perhaps more than others.
Third, we sometimes need help to see our troubles as blessings in disguise. I am still trying to see how my accident and the recuperation after could be a blessing. I guess I will get to see that only after time has passed.
Finally, God is always with us and that is our comfort on the beautiful days and the painful days.
Being able to talk to God in prayer is a sacred gift. I wish you countless sacred gifts.

“Even there your hand will guide me; your right hand will hold me fast.” Psalm 139:10
God is with us always– we never walk alone. He knows every moment of our life even before we are born. Worry will not change that. Instead, we must lay our burdens at HIs feet, trusting that He is in charge. We cannot and never will be in charge.
