Dear God, Please help me to be more patient with others and myself. I want to walk closer to you, love others, and understand better what it is you want me to do in your eyes. How can I better serve you? Amen
Try this: with every prayer “lord change me into the person you want me to be.” after only 5 short years I don’t even recognize me.
Heavenly Father, Thank you for granting the desires of your daughter’s heart. Where patience is hard help her to rest in your peace. In Jesus Name Amen🙏🏾
…and Lord, lead her not into temptation but deliver her from evil.
In Jesus’ Name Amen
Sister, be patient with yourself and let your patience grow from a place of self acceptance and LOVE. Be gentle with yourself.
I personally find impatience to be a bypoduct of my needs not being met. There is also this sense of not being seen or heard. And usually, more often than not, I can do for myself what others can not or will not do.
I don’t know where you come from or what your upbringing may have been, but if you ever had a time in your life when a parent was absent or unable to meet your needs, that is something we take into adulthood with us. Children like this tend to become caregivers, mediators, and providers before they have learned basic life skills. And there are lots of wounds, feelings attached to this life experience that need to be brought to the surface, taken some time with, processed and healed.
Healing sometimes starts by learning to LOVE ourselves where others were unable to. And learning what LOVE means. Sometimes, it means doing the laundry, washing the dishes, and sitting in the pain we want to turn off or run from.
But until we do, those frustrations and obstacles and repeating patterns will remerge to return our focus on where it needs to be. If this is the case for you as it was with me, I encourage you to find a trustworthy counselor and to begin to unpack and address the past. It will relieve you of burdens and make your life a whole lot easier. And better the more time you take with it. It’s not a fast process, but becomes easier the more you do it.
However if your source of frustration is purely having to interact with young people or childish adults, more power to you. Sometimes taking a coffee break or a Sabbatical goes a long way.
With LOVE,
Tillman.

hard work does not comes easy, because we are all use to the easy routes, but pray on it and ask are lord for the help in overcoming your challenges 
Great advice & wisdom!!! I’ve been on the journey of learning to love myself along with embracing God’s love❤️. Like you said, a therapist is helpful. Unpacking years of past experiences will take some time, and sitting in some hurtful places is needed, but it’s worth the work because God is right there with us and when He brings us out; we feel brand new and loved by our Heavenly Father. What blesses me the most in the process is how God opens my mind to His perspective which is far beyond my thoughts & ways.
