I almost converted to Judaism in my late teens, and the Rabbi I was working with shared with me a prayer he often prayed in times of struggle. "God grant me the faith of the convert, the strength of a bear, the wisdom of the aged, and the patience of a mother"

I always liked that

I unfortunately have the wisdom of the convert, the faith of a bear, the strength of the aged, and the patience of a very tired mother.

Out of all these... I think you're underestimating the mother.

Well, not mine, specifically, but... Hypothetically. Some mother.

(Also... The faith of a bear maybe instead of also patience?)

Depending on who you ask "wisdom of the convert" could be pretty great.

... Or horrible. Again, depends who you ask. Lol
