February 5 – Morning

Read

The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.

(Ecclesiastes 7:8)

Pray

Dear God,

You have reminded me in this verse that patience is better than pride, and that a patient spirit is better than a proud one. Help me to cultivate patience in my heart and in my actions. Let me not be quick to anger or quick to boast, but instead help me to have a humble and patient spirit. Teach me to wait on Your perfect timing and to trust in Your plans for my life.

I know that pride can often lead to destruction and conflict, while patience can bring about peace and understanding. I pray for the strength and wisdom to choose patience over pride in all aspects of my life. Thank You for Your guidance and grace in this journey. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
