The Blessing of Patience: Living a Life with No Regrets - A Nighttime Prayer

The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience (emphasis mine), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

– Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)

Please Pray:

Lord, fill us with your Spirit so that we may be more like you. You are so patient with us, and we want to show that kind of patience to others. Forgive us for the times we've been impatient with our loved ones or others who have irritated us. We want to be faithful servants whom you may use to draw others to you through kindness and patience. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
