Prayer Offered for January 13, 2020

Patient God-

Teach us to be patient-

Unruffled by those who anger,

Tolerant of those who exasperate,

Accepting of those who disappoint.

Help us remain

Serene in the face of derision,

Calm in the face of provocation,

Composed in the midst of a storm. 

And God-

Teach us to be patient with ourselves.—AMEN.
