Impatience, OY

I’ve found myself many times asking for forgiveness for my impatience. Those days when I’m overwhelmed, (like planning a big event and I can’t find my desk), the smallest thing can trip the trigger. Right?! Time to come to Father who has an INCREDIBLE amount of patience with his children, (even though most days we just need a good ‘ole spanking). Father knows our hearts and he readily accepts our prayers for forgiveness.

So when you feel the stress building, when you feel short tempered, when you feel like you can’t take one more thing, STOP. Step away from what you are doing, and go sit with Father. Give him your stress, ask him to help calm and ease the moment. Close your eyes, breathe deep, and just have a conversation with God.

Our Lord will never forsake us. We just tend to go it alone too often. Continue to build that relationship with God, you might be surprised how less stressed you feel.

Psalm 86:15
But you, Lord , are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
