A Prayer for Patience

When everything in you wants to force the door open, hear this instead.

God, I hate waiting. I want answers now, results now, change now. But You work on a different clock. Teach me to be faithful in the space between the prayer and the answer. Help me trust that delayed does not mean denied. Grow my patience like a muscle.

The wait isn't wasted — God is building something worth being patient for. Amen.

When to pray this

Patience is not passive waiting; it is staying kind and steady while something takes longer than you wanted. It usually gets tested by small things — traffic, a slow reply, a person who will not change on your timeline.
