Morning Prayer
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
Inspiration
Patience is an expression of wisdom. It is never wise to follow whims and emotions because this will lead to even greater problems. When we choose to be patient, it allows us to put all emotional influences as bay, and clearly pay attention to a situation. When we choose to be quick to anger, we will end up hurting people and it will be hard to reverse the damage our actions caused.
Prayer
Dear God, I pray that I may be like you, slow to anger and eager to be patient. Father, whenever my emotions try to get the better of me, may you help me keep them at bay. I do not desire to hurt anyone – no matter what they have done to me. May I express your love in all situations, Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
