A prayer for patience

Anyone else out there finding their patience tested today? Here's a good prayer from the Lutheran Service Book, page 312:

O God, by the patient endurance of Your only-begotten Son You beat down the pride of the old enemy.  Help us to treasure rightly in our hearts what our Lord has borne for our sakes that, after His example, we may bear with patience those things that are adverse to us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
