I came across this prayer, which fits my mood. Whenever I am waiting for anything to happen, I get very impatient. I remember when my husband deployed to war, I was always conflicted with feelings of wanting it to move faster, while dreading the terrible consequences and at the same time yearning that one day war would no longer be. Such is the hope of all military families. Such a mixed bag of emotions. Anyway, I thought this was a nice prayer. Y’all have a nice day:)
A Prayer For Patience
Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer company;
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong;
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way;
In peace that only Thou cast give —
With Thee, O Master, let me live!
– Washington Gladden
