Reflection

"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." - Leo Tolstoy

Prayer

God of patience,

So much of our human experience is shaped by our ability to be patient—with others and with ourselves. Yet even our best efforts pale in comparison to the patience you show us each day. Life’s obstacles, challenges, and stress can easily distract us from the value of patience. But through your example and the grace of the Spirit, help us to grow in understanding and practice of this virtue with all whom we encounter. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
