God grant me an increase where I have less
First on my list is more patience
Patience to love
Patience to wait
Have patience reside in me where once was hate
Provide me patience to teach
Patience to save
Patience to abstain from the worldly things I crave
Temper my soul
Open my heavenly eyes
Impair my vision where I need to be blind
Grant me the patience to stay before you in prayer
Help me to come clean with you
Cause me to share
Remove all doubt and replace it with trust
Cast down the strongholds that separate us
When I can't see you moving
Increase my faith
Bless me with the patience to run a full race
Bestow me adequate measure to endure life's storms
Erase bad memories and make enemies foreign
Where my patience is worn
Repair the breach
Fill up my cup
Keep your love within reach
When my heart is torn
Heal and remove the pain
Restore my patience and trust to love again
God more than anything
Please hear this plea
Decrease my faults and remain patient with me!
