Jesus, there are times that I feel overwhelmed by the challenges in my life. I confess that I lose patience in different areas: in my faith, my relationships, my work and calling, and with myself. You have given me patience in the fruit of your spirit and yet I struggle to access it at times. So I come to you– the well that does not run dry. I need more patience! Lord, meet this need according to the riches of your glory in Christ Jesus. Thank you for the trials that produce more patience and perseverance in my life (Romans 5:3). Fill me with the fruit of your spirit so that my life may speak to your goodness.
