I want to share a tip with you for patience and that is prayer, but don’t just pray for patience. I am sure you all heard the preacher’s story about the guy who prayed for patience, and he lost his job, his house burned down, and he had a flat tire all in the same day. Of course, that’s a myth, but many of us have a concern about praying for this fruit.

If you are not intentionally trying to grow fruit, the process may be more painful than it needs to be. However, if you desire to grow spiritual fruit, I have a safe prayer for patience that you can pray. Read this and see what you think.

“Lord, I ask you to help me to respond patiently to my spouse today.”

This prayer can help if done on a daily basis. You can add, “I want to express your patient love toward my spouse today. God I know that my spouse is your child. You were beaten and died for any sin they committed today. Please God; let me express your patience today in responding patiently to my spouse.”
