Guided Prayer

Impatience

One · Pause

Be still for a moment. Breathe in slowly, and out slowly — three times. There is no hurry here, and no one is watching.

Be still, and know that I am God.

Psalm 46:10 · KJV

Two · Check in

What do you want to hurry along right now?

Three · Scripture · King James Version

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Psalm 37:7 · KJV

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Romans 12:12 · KJV

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 · KJV

Four · Reflection

There is a season for everything, and rushing rarely ripens anything. Patience is trust stretched over time.

Five · Pray this

Father, I want it now. Teach me to rest in You and wait patiently. Let me be patient in tribulation and steady in prayer. In Jesus' name, amen.

Six · Now in your own words

Ask God for patience for this specific week, not in general.

Seven · Private journal

What I am rushing, and what might be growing in the delay.

Eight · One practical step

Slow one thing down today on purpose.

Before you go

The season will come. Rest in Him until it does.
