If we could but lower our estimation of the importance of our time, our plans and our feelings, we would find ourselves almost automatically more patient. Patience is a more positive trait. It is the ability to bear affliction, delay and interruption with calmness, perseverance and confidence in the goodness of God. It is the submission of our schedules, our viewpoints, our dreams to the greater plan of God, with the conviction that He has a good reason for every delay He allows to come our way.
Prayer for the Week
Lord, give me the confidence that matters are still under Your control. May I not grow impatient at the pace of Your interventions. Amen
