Patience with Processes

"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion."

— Philippians 1:6

Patient Lord,

I would like immediate results, instant changes. But growth, healing, transformation take time. This slowness frustrates me.

Give me patience with processes. The understanding that some things cannot be rushed, that each step has its importance, that time does its work.

May I trust the process even when I don't yet see the results. Like a seed that grows invisibly underground before emerging.

Amen.

Reflection

What growth process are you currently experiencing? How can you trust it more?

For all those who are impatient and struggle with the slowness of processes.
