May God Help You In Times of Weakness

Our emotions have a great effect on our lives and on the lives of others. We cannot stop them from coming but we have a choice as to the level of control it has over our lives.

I pray for you today that you will be slow to anger and exercise more patience in your life. I pray that you will give others the benefit of the doubt and learn to pray for and forgive those who have hurt you. I know this cannot always be easy, but my prayer is that God will give you the strength and grace so that you will be able to maintain peace in your own life by not allowing others to control your emotions and get you angry all the time. If you can control your anger, you will have greater understanding of how to deal with the same issue next time, but if you are quick to anger and you allow people to push you into losing your temper all the time, this will expose your weakness as a person. It will give others the opportunity to have a bad opinion of you and you might be made to look foolish and embarrassed.

God cares about you and He will perfect that which concerns you. He loves you dearly. He knows we are not perfect and we all have areas of weakness. The Bible mentions that His power will be made perfect in our weakness. He is always willing to help if we cry out to Him and ask Him to help us. I pray that God will perfect His power in you and help you to overcome any form of weakness in your life.

His thoughts towards you are of good and not of evil to bring you to an expected end. You are an overcomer. I pray that you will overcome all obstacles and any form of weakness that may cause you to lose control of your emotions. May the goodness of God follow you wherever you go, may His mercy abound towards you and may His favour never depart from you and your household.

I pray that you will learn to exercise patience in all that you do and as you do this, may the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

In the words of Elizabeth Kenny, “He who angers you conquers you.” I pray that you will not allow anyone to anger you. May God bless you as you learn to exercise more patience. In the words of St. Augustine, “Patience is the companion of wisdom.”
