Reflect
All relationships take work, and our life with God is no different. It might be hard to admit, but just like in our human relationships, we can struggle with frustration, anger, and anxiety with God. We might experience deep shame over this, thinking that we’re letting God down for having these feelings. But our faith reminds us that God is gentle, always forgiving, always awaiting our return.
Pray
Lord,
In the brokenness of the world and amid my own flaws and blemishes,
I ask for the gift and virtue of patience.
Your mercy is proof that you are a deeply patient God.
Your grace is proof that your forgiveness knows no bounds.
Amen.
Act
