Prayer is Patient

4 Prayer is patient, prayer is kind.
Prayer does not envy, prayer does not boast,
true prayer is not proud.
5 Prayer does not dishonor others,
Prayer is not self-seeking,
prayer is not easily angered,
prayer does not keeps a record of wrongs.
6 Prayer does not delight in evil;
prayer rejoices with the truth.
7 Prayer always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Prayer never fails.
