Patience is a Virtue

I've heard over and over again...never pray for patience because the Lord just might teach you all about it. Well, I won't lie...I am afraid to pray for patience! But it is definitely not one of my strengths! I think the reason there are so many wonderful sayings about patience is that we need so much reminding to be patient!


I need so much help in this area, it's just ridiculous. I want everything to be the way I want it and I want it that way now. Because that's what I want, okay? 
Heehee. 
Sorry. 
That's only a slight exaggeration though!



I am learning that often when things don't go our way, it's because God has something better in store. We just have to sit back and be patient! Ooooh I feel like a kid at birthday party, though. I wanna open the presents, eat the cake and ice cream, blow out the candles, and I want to do it all now! I don't want to wait till someone else is ready!


Seriously, folks, help me out here. Pray for me. I have some serious stress in my life right now and I need to stop reacting so strongly and just wait. "Good things come to those who wait," right? I know this. But knowing it and doing it are two different things. So, yes, please pray for me. But don't pray for me to learn patience!
