God, give me patience. Sometimes I can't see down the road at all; all I can see is where I'm at right this moment, and I find myself despairing that I will never be where my heart desires. I know that's not realistic, but sometimes a matter of years feels more like a matter of decades. Sometimes all I can see is right where I'm standing right now, and I feel glued to this spot like I can never get away.
God, give me a stronger faith that my life is moving in the direction it is supposed to be. My life is not stagnant, is not stuck in one place. Rather, I am constantly on a journey, on a path which was designed and laid out for me if I have the wisdom to follow it faithfully.
God, give me a greater determination to make the best of every place and situation I find myself in. I know that I can make a beautiful and blessed life out of whatever I am given. I can't always choose my path, but I can choose what to do with it. I can choose my attitude. I can choose my willingness to adjust and adapt. I can choose my joy or my discontent.
