Patience with Processes

"See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop."

— James 5:7

Patient Lord,

I would like immediate results, instant changes. But true transformations take time, like a plant that grows slowly.

Give me patience with processes. The ability to accept that some things cannot be rushed, that maturation takes its time, that each step is necessary.

May I celebrate small progress rather than get discouraged because the goal seems far away. Step by step, day by day, I progress.

Amen.

Reflection

What growth process are you currently going through? How can you be more patient with it?

For all those who are impatient and frustrated by the slowness of processes.
