Patience

~ A Prayer For Patience ~

God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow,
Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know.

Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right
So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight.

Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart
So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart.

Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until
My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will.

It was a not so good day today, my youngest child made a scene while we're in the grocery until we get home...even the other passengers were really surprised on his behavior. I asked hubby to go home because my patience is already exhausted.
Makoy wanted to buy again a new pencil case, I did not allow him so his tantrums is truly unbearable...

More Patience

"Lord, please grant me more patience..."

There were times that I wanted to give up my role of being a mother to my youngest son. I believe that I really have tons of patience, but my packed was almost exhausted. When my anger gets up I have no choice but to give him a whip... but after doing that I'll explain to him why I have to do it...after a few more minutes, as if the bad spirit had left his body (OMG!) and he'll be back as the jolly kid I know.
I was trying to convince myself that maybe he will outgrow his tantrums and will be soon like his kuya who is mature enough to act, think and refusing to disobey me because he doesn't want to be scolded.
"Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with love and guide us always, Amen..."
