Today let us pray for patience, 
that we never stop trusting God.

Now the God of patience and consolation 
grant you to be like-minded one towards another, 
according to Christ Jesus.

Colossians 1: 11-12 NRSV
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12: 1-2 NRSV
