Peace and the building of Character

Situation: Young man I know & love dearly was having daily life challenges; humidity, slow long lines, irritating people. I felt led to pray peace for him.

Word:
Romans 5:1-5 (NIV):
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, wehave peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Prayer:
Father I thank You that you have given _____ peace with You through Jesus. I pray that he would experience Your peace. Father, may the tough and annoying times in his life produce perseverance, character, and hope. May Your hope not disappoint him. May he recognize and experience the love You have poured out into his heart by Your Holy Spirit.
