Dear Father,
we know that your patience and kindness are meant to bring us to repentance. We know that it is because you love us and the world that you are patient with us. Lord, We pray that we will learn from your love to be patient and kind you each other. Grow our ability to be patient even when it is hardest. Fill us with your kindness so that we can display it to one another.
In Jesus’ name, amen!
