God’s presence keeps me calm and patient at all times.
How
do I react to delays that keep me from accomplishing my goals?
Experience tells me that getting irritated or impatient will not change
the circumstances. A slow line will not move quicker by frowning.
Traffic does not clear because I show frustration. What I can do,
however, is visualize right outcomes for myself and others. If I am delayed, I use that time to center my thoughts and to give
thanks for God’s presence within. I practice slow, easy breathing while
affirming: I am peaceful. I am calm. Being patient today is an investment in peace for tomorrow. I refrain
from being reactionary and saying or doing something I may regret
later. As I hold thoughts of peace for others, I benefit from being
patient and calm.
As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.—Psalm 42:1
