Prayers for tolerance?

Question

it is for me because i need to be more tolerant versus my grandmother. she is blind and that is killing her and because of that she is very negative and i really cannot stay next to her. every SINGLE thing we do for her is not good enough and cause of that i loose patience. is there any prayers or anything that can help me? thank you!

Answer 1

Prayer always helps,and please focus on the fact that you won't have her around much longer.Most of her frustration comes from the fact that she can't do for her self any longer.Imagine how hard it would be if you couldn't do the things that we all take for granted,not to mention the pain that goes along with age.Don't take it so personal.She isn't angry at you,but herself for her state.Try to comfort her,and let her know she is still needed.It must fell terrible to fell not needed anymore.Tell her you love her and God bless you for helping your grandma.I will be praying for you.

Yea the answer is simple, stay close to her and that is how you will learn patience and tolerance. If you run everytime something irritates you you never dvelop character. Look around you, the people who suffer the most are the kindest, most lovng and patient people. God has given you an excellent opportunity for you to learn, take advantage of it.

You know your prayers will be answered no matter how you say them .....Just listen to the answer you are given and except what is .....
Your Grandmother is sad about her sight and her age she wants to see you and the family as she has for years...Pray she will come to understand in her heart she see's her family ...Remember she is afraid of loosing a freedom she felt close too

Don't stop seeing her she needs you more now than ever give her your love without strings give her your sight by telling her what it is you see let her feel your words and hold her hands so she may feel your warmth

You need to take a really deep breath, now ask God for the strength to get you through this difficult time. You have to be kind to your dear Grandma, like she is a child. I know, firsthand, that is very difficult, but you have to do this. Do not let her "see" you get frustrated, or cry, if you need to scream or cry (and you will), leave the room and get *way* out of earshot, and let it rip. Maintain your composure when you are around her, I know it sounds patronizing, but it is what is needed. She is scared, she does not want to die, cannot see, is totally helpless, her only power is negativity. Ask God to guide you, constantly, every time you feel frustrated, call out to God for his help, he is there. I do not understand God's ways at all, this year has been so hard for my family..lots of tragedy...just hang in there and do you best for your Grandma, you will feel MUCH better about yourself when she is gone if you do your best when she is still here..God Bless You and your family.

Close your eyes and dont open them. now, try to get a glass of water. how about something to eat? Can you feed yourself? How about going to the bathroom. Bumped into any walls yet? did you miss the toilet? ok, now ask someone for help. Do you hear it in their voice that they are too busy watching t.v. to help you. Or maybe going out to hang out with their friends. How patient would you be if you couldnt see. It would be pretty scarey not to be able to help yourself and have to depend on others to survive. Hell, if you were blind, you wouldnt be able to ask questions on this site. how would that feel? why dont you give your grandma a hug and mean it. take time to talk to her and realize how much you mean to her. now open your eyes and hopefully you can answer your own prayer and be more tolerant with a helpless soul that didnt ask to become blind. I pray that you will see the light.
