Hollywood Prayer Network On PatienceSample

 BE PATIENT WITH EVERYONE

"Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment." C.S. Lewis  

"How poor are they who have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees." William Shakespeare  

PRAY:  God my Father, I want to be humble and gentle and patient. I want to bear with others in love and I want to make every effort to keep unity and peace in my family, in my community, and in my world. Would Your Spirit transform me so that I become a bond of peace? Thank you for allowing me to be used in such an amazing way in this world. I look forward to having You transform me. Selah!

REFLECT:  A mentor of mine once told me that being a peace-maker is a bloody business! It's hard to bring unity in our world, even in our own family. It's also hard to bear with one another's burdens, struggles and brokenness. It takes tremendous patience, more than is humanly possible, to live as God wants us to. That's why we need Him desperately, at every moment, so that we can be humble and gentle and loving, yet strong and focused and intentional. If we could do it on our own we wouldn't need God.

ACT:  Choose one person with whom you have trouble and make the decision to be the peace-maker. Have your goal be unity, regardless of how humble, gentle and patient you have to be. If you can reunite, or reconcile, or find peace with just one tough person, then you will have achieved the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace! And remember, with God, NOTHING is impossible. Just be patient and pray as you reach out in gentle love.

We would love to hear from you!
