Reflect
We live in a fast-paced society. Because of that we have become accustomed not to wait for things. By doing so, we often miss what we can learn and experience when we have patience, and wait for things to unfold just as they should.
Pray
Dear God,
remind us
that all things
will happen
in the appropriate time.
It is through waiting
that we are able
to experience so many
of life’s blessings.
Things such as flowers,
babies, seasons,
and more all come
after a period
of patient waiting.
Help us to find joy
and embrace that time.
Amen.
Act
The next time you’re starting to lose your patience stop, close your eyes, and count to 10—or take a deep breath.
