Wisdom Yields Patience

 

 

A person’s wisdom yields patience;

    it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. 

 

—Proverbs 19:11 (NIV)

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Grant me the wisdom that produces patience—rather than anger—and help me to choose not to be offended by what someone else may say or do.

 

Help me to be wise enough to watch for Your hand at work in all things that happen to me because of other people’s words or actions—that I might control my reactions and remain patient enough to find out what You have to teach me.

 

Help me not to eagerly embrace every opportunity to be offended by what comes my way but rather reject the destructive power that an offense can hold over me.  Help me let offenses pass me by—as I remain confidently at peace, in the truth of who I am in Christ.

 

Help me be slow to become angry, but quick to understand, quick to love, quick to show compassion, mercy, and grace, and quick to forgive and move forward, unencumbered by the past, in the joy and peace that You call me to walk in—so I can be busy about the good things You have for me to do, for Your glory, honor and praise.

 

Grant me the wisdom that produces patience—rather than anger—and help me to choose not to be offended by what someone else may say or do.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Help Us!

 

 

 

Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;
And save us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name.

 

—Psalm 79:9 (NASB2020)

 

God of our Salvation,

 

Only You can help us—for only You can save us and forgive us of our sins!

 

Help us! Move as only You can move! According to Your absolute power and Your never-failing love for Your children, unfold before us what is best for us—for the glory of Your name.

 

Save us! Deliver us from evil! Because You are Holy and Just, do not let the evil of this fallen world overtake us—for the sake of Your name.

 

Forgive our sins! Bring us to repentance! Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon us and call us into Your Presence once again—that Your name would be made great in all the world.

 

Only You can help us—for only You can save us and forgive us of our sins!

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
