O Patient God, thank you for your gift of today. There are so many times Father, when I say and do things, wishing that the results will be immediate. Give me faith the size of a mustard seed today, that I will truly trust that all will be well, but in your time and not my own. Increase my patience and my humility Father, and help me to recognize that the effects of what I do and say has nothing to do with me, but rests instead with the hearts of those who see and hear. May I then, always be a sower of good seeds and a doer of good deeds, believing that once I’ve done my part, You O God, will do the rest.

Don’t give up. You are closer than you think.“If you FAIL, never give up because F.A.I.L. means “First Attempt in Learning”. END is not the end; in fact E.N.D. means “Effort Never Dies”. If you get NO as an answer, remember N.O. means “Next Opportunity”.””Failure of your first attempt does not mean you can’t be a winner of great battles; Your downfall is a preparation for your up-rise. Don’t just manage; go extra mile and win your race. Never give up the fight. You will win.”

Thanks be to you O God for sustaining my life to this point. So many times O God, I look and see but do not perceive, I hear and listen but do not understand. Till the barren soil of my heart today O God, and fertilize it with your love, your mercy, your patience and compassion, so that in that soil, your Word can take root, blossom and bear fruit in plenty. Guard, guide and defend me Father from those who would sow seeds of hatred and envy, mistrust and deceit. And when my todays are no more, let me rest with you in the place reserved for your struggling disciples.
