Patience (pā-shəns) is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.
This is one we all struggle with. And though it may take a while for us some of us to master we can still put patience into practice. Whether you are the stay at home mom with a million kids running around screaming at the top of their lungs, the supervisor at work with employees who think they own the company, or the husband with the wife that just wont stop fussing you can use this as a little reminder.
So how do we live without cutting people off at the intersection because we are late, or being rude at the cashier for holding up the line or rushing God for our dreams to come true. Well we should go back to the basics by appreciating what we have and accepting the things that we can not change. Why rush to get rich instead of being thankful for your present. Don't you realize that there is someone out there who wishes they had half of what you have? So lets practice patience and take that deep breathe before we totally freak out because someone else is not moving as fast as we think they should.Plus fussing about something can only make matters worse. It can also make you feel awful inside. God said that love is patient, love is kind. It can be a battle to keep our patients but it is worth trying. It will definitely take time but once you master it you will notice a higher quality of life.
Things to practice:
1. When you feel the heat rise. Take a deep breathe and realize that God is in control and something good is going to come out of this even though you can not see it now.
2. When you wake up in the morning have your quite time with God so you can get in the right spirit, the right frame of mind, and be prepared to conquer any negativity that would other wise catch you off guard.
3. Realize that your impatience is bigger than you at times. Constantly work towards improving.
