Unpopular Opinion:Pray for Patience
Send us a textEvery time I’m at church and someone makes the comment “never pray for patience” I get a little more sad on the inside. Well not really, but it does make me think they must not truly understand what they are missing by having that thought process. Now it’s not just the act of not praying for patience that I am concerned about for people who believe this. It is what that belief represents in their lives that can create more problems. So I want to discuss with you today 3 underlying beliefs that may be holding you back from praying for patience and ultimately gaining the growth and progress your Heavenly Parents want for you.

Send us a textYou know the number one thing that causes decision fatigue in your life? Not knowing if you’re having a thought or a prompting. I see so many women making one very big mistake in this regard. They start thinking that every good thought is the spirit telling them it’s a prompting. So then they start acting in the name of Christ to help everyone else to the point of exhaustion because helping someone else is a good thought right?Sure, HOWEVER, when they do this they often end up making poor decisions which involve the care of their own mind and body because they sacrificed all their decision making ability and energy on others throughout the day. That is exhausting! Have you ever been there? Then this episode is for you.
