I get so worked up over little things. I hate to wait in line, to sit in traffic, to be put on hold when I'm on the phone. I want everything to happen for me right now. Right now! Lord, give me the patience to accept the situation I am in instead of rebelling against it. I flare up in anger so easily, so quickly, over nothing. Just because things don't go my way. And that just makes things worse. I don't know why I make a mountain out of a molehill all the time.

You put up with me, Lord, help me to put up with others. You don't get tired of me, or fed up, or tell me that I am too much to take. I marvel at your patience, Lord. How can you accept me with all my pettiness, my pushiness, my insistence to get my way, my anger at interference or interruptions? Please help me to be more big-hearted, Lord. Please give me the strength to be patient.
