I'm sure we've all had times when we're over tired and just want to stop whatever we are doing and go crawl up somewhere and just take a nap. That's how I feel right now!
Just because I feel that way, doesn't mean I should do it. If I did that this close to the time to pick up my grandsons from school, I would most likely fall asleep and not get them in time.
Wanting to always be responsible, I'm praying for Christ's Over Tired Grace. I know He will help refocus and refresh me. I am so very blessed!!!!
As of late, I've been praying for God's grace in specific situations for me to be more gracious to others with these brief prayers. It's amazing what's happened!
Being Prideful Grace
God allowed me to accomplish something that I thought was impossible for me. I wanted to share it with others, because I was excited about it. Christ had me realize that God wouldn't want me boasting about something, especially something that totally came from Him and not from me.
I need to be prayerful asking for Being Prideful Grace. I need to focus less on taking credit and more on giving credit to whom it is due, which is Christ. If it weren't for Him, this would have never been possible!

Making Mistakes Grace
The other day, I wrote a note to other members of my exercise class. I got the dates for an event wrong. I apologized to everyone and continued to say things to put myself down.
I don't think Christ wants us putting ourselves down. If He forgives me in all my many, many mistakes, shouldn't I pray to Him for Making Mistakes Grace, so I could forgive myself for not being perfect and making mistakes? You bet and I need to do so next time!

Anti Political Talk Grace
Sometimes, I hear about political things on the TV that get on my last nerve. It's easy to spout out my disapproval, but what type of role model am I being? Am I the role model I need to be if I make comments like that in front of my grandchildren?
No! It's not easy to ask for Christ's Anti Political Talk Grace and take a deep breath before saying something more appropriate. I can't say that I've always done this, but would like to be more consistently gracious in situations that bring about political frustration!

Loud TV Grace
I was trying to read my Bible, but the TV was turned up loud, so loud that it made it difficult to focus on the Bible passages that I was reading. I wanted to walk out of the room in a huff, but thought that was counterproductive.
What I did was try to hold my hands over my ears to muffle some of the sound, but it still wasn't easy to focus on what I had read. I was afraid that if I said something it would have come out sarcastically. I should have remembered that I could have prayed for Christ's Loud TV Grace. Did I do it? No, but when I thought about things later, I realize that I need to be mindful about praying for Christ's grace next time.

Example of a Brief Prayer
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 15:11
I was with someone who was scooping up some free popcorn. They didn't ask me if I wanted any. The person told me that I should get a bag of popcorn and then took it from my hands. They wanted me to get the popcorn for them to eat later.
It's such a silly thing, but it really did irritate me. Didn't that person think about whether I wanted some or not? Couldn't they have asked me if I wanted some before they took it from my hands? I found myself getting frustrated at that person. Then, it popped into my mind that that's not what Christ wants of me. He wants me to be gracious to those who irritate me, but I was too frustrated to be gracious at that moment.
