Prayer for Today, Saturday, October 26

Most Holy God,

 

Today we pray for patience. We live in a world that sells instant gratification, but it is all a farce. True satisfaction, comfort and enjoyment come only when we pray, work, and serve. It takes time and is not immediate. Help us, O Lord, to set aside our immediate desires and strive for a peace that is based on patience and love. You are our God and we are your people. Walk among us, we pray, and empower us to live a life worthy of the grace You have already bestowed. This is our prayer in Jesus’ name. AMEN.
