Prayer for Discernment and Patience

Lord Jesus, our Shepherd and Guide, in this vast field of existence, where wheat and weeds entwine, where righteousness and wickedness stand side by side, Grant us discernment, O Savior divine. Teach us patience, as we tread this earthly path, for hasty hands may harm the righteous, unknowing, Yet Your wisdom, like a beacon, lights our way, revealing character’s true colors, ever-growing.

You alone, O God, see hearts laid bare, The hidden motives, the secret struggles we bear. May we learn to wait, trusting in Your justice, as we strive for growth, our souls’ sacred practice. In the quiet moments, when shadows lengthen, May we find solace in Your timing, perfect and true, for You orchestrate the seasons of our lives, and in Your presence, transformational grace imbues.

Lord Jesus, our Judge and Redeemer, may we surrender our impatience, our fears, and embrace the dance of wheat and weeds, knowing that Your love sustains us through the years.

Amen.
