Dear God, and Saint Monica, I ask for your intercession and help in this difficult time. Grant me the grace of patience. Help me to trust in Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your love. May I be able to wait on You, to offer You all that I have, and to allow You to work in and through me, just as You have done with so many others. Through Saint Monica, and in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
