Father, I pray today for patience. This gift, I surely need. Forgive me for my lack of such. Protect me from the temptation to be annoyed or bothered or to complain. I know such attitudes do not please You. Fill me with joy in all circumstances, and please give me love for all people; the kind of love Jesus that You have for me. I want to exhibit Your love Jesus. Help me in this; for, like all things that please You, I can't do it on my own.
