The way I see it, there are two forms of patience: (1) patience with others and (2) patience with the unravelling of God’s will in my life. As He breaks down my pride, He’s revealing to me that I could definitely use a lot of both.

Lord, strip me of my evil heart. Give me Christ-like love for others, especially those of the family of faith. Enable me to make allowance for flaws and mistakes. Calm my heart. Ease my agitation.
Heavenly Father, instill in me a patient heart. Make my desire to wait on You and the fulfillment of Your promises greater than the lies of this world. Shape my thoughts, actions, and heart to Your own. May Your Holy Spirit overwhelm me and inhabit my every being.
In the precious name of Your One and Only Son I pray. Amen.
