Patience!

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.  Ephesians 6:4

We all want to raise our children well.  No one wakes up with the goal to be a bad parent.  Our impatience is what gets in the way.  We don't choose to yell at our kids.  Our failure is that we don't have the self-discipline to practice patience.  

Lord, help me to be patient so that I am a good parent.
