Prayer for Patience

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please forgive me for anything that I have said, thought, felt, and done that is contrary to Your Word. Please give me the insight and direction to correct my mistakes, so that I am realigned with Your Will. Heavenly Father, I’m asking for a revelation to blaze a trail through my consciousness, and to do so in such a way that it shows me errors that injure my walk in Christ. I desire to truly repent, so that I have a change of heart and a change of mind. Please do a work within through Your precious Holy Spirit, as I am led and guided by him to all truth.

You command us in Your Word to run the race You have set before us with patience and endurance. Please help me to increase in the Spirit’s fruit of patience, so that I can continue to run this race of life with Your grace. I know that I need patience in order to increase in faith, and this faith helps me take hold of the good things You planned for my life long ago. Thank You for helping and showing me the way to prepare for all You have in store for me. Thank You for continuing to pour out Your love on my life as I cling tighter to You through Your Word. Thank You that my latter days will be greater than my former days, as I continue to delight myself in You. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen. ■
