Resources on cultivating patience are great, but the power of prayer is even better. Here are some of my favorite prayers for whenever you need divine help to keep from losing your cool.
Prayer for Patience by Saint Francis de Sales
Be at peace. Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life; rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise, God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand it, God will carry you in His arms. Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and every day. He will either shield you from suffering or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. Amen.
Prayer for Patience
God, teach me to be patient; Teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You When my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance When things do not go right, So I remain unruffled When others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet My racing, rising heart So I may hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, And pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace And I learn to know Your will. Amen.
