Patience & Strength

God, I need for You to give me the patience and the strength to wait out what is before me, to not rush things according to my time frame.  It's my prayer that what You've given me today will still be here when the time is right.  Sometimes I get so ahead of myself and caught up in the moment that I can't hear what You are trying to tell me.  I pray for the patience to listen carefully and to see clearly what You want for me.  I know that You want what is best for me, so please help me to slow down and wait for it.
