Patience can test us and push our limits! But fear not, for even in our struggles with patience, there is hope. My mother was Italian, and I can remember one word she taught me: the Italian word “Pazienza,” which in English means patience! We all struggle with patience, but God’s word teaches us how to practice patience. Practice patience by trusting that God is in control. Like most all things, patience can be learned. Patience does not just naturally happen overnight. How profound it is that this one simple word holds such power to transform our lives.

Plan Ahead And Use Your Time Wisely. It Is When We Are Rushed Is When We Tend To Lose Our Patience With Other. Patience Is A Fruit Of The Spirit! Ask God To Be More Disciplined When It Comes To Patience! Also Be More Patient To Those Who Are Habitually Late, Or Those Who Irritate You!

In this fast-paced world where everything seems instant and immediate, we often forget that patience does not come naturally overnight. No, it must be learned and practiced diligently, like any other skill worth mastering. Do not worry; God’s sacred teachings offer us guidance on cultivating patience within ourselves. The essence lies in trusting He is always in control — orchestrating every moment with His perfect will and timing. So, let us bask in the knowledge that as we place our unwavering faith in Him, our tolerance shall increase tenfold. Our tolerance increases and strengthens as we trust God’s perfect will and timing.

The next time you have to wait for something, look for ways to make the most of the situation you are involved in. For example, if you are in a line at the store, use the time to talk with others or pray, and ask God to give you patience, especially if you are in a hurry. Ask God to show you how to be content in your circumstances. Remember that if you pray for patience, the Lord will put circumstances to strengthen you and develop the patience you desire. ~ Bill Greguska

Proverbs 19:11  A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Ten Principles For Developing Patience With Others:

Have patience my friend!

Have patience, and the time you have been waiting for will come!

Here are some ways to practice having more patience with others:

  1. Be an active listener: Pay close attention to what the other person is saying, and respond thoughtfully after reflecting. Learning to think before speaking.
  2. Practice deep breathing: Taking a few deep breaths when you feel stressed can help you be more patient.  Make yourself wait: Be mindful of what’s making you feel rushed. 
  3. Staying focused on the goal of the conversation.
  4. Be empathetic: Try to understand the other person’s emotional experience. Give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they are trying their best. 
  5. Looking for ways to be of help to others to gain their respect.
  6. Practice being aware and present in the moment, without getting caught up in past or future worries. 
  7. Identify triggers: Be aware of what makes you feel overwhelmed, and take breaks when needed. 
  8. Working out our conflicts with others is like a dance, it takes two to tango.
  9. Practice gratitude: Research suggests that practicing gratitude can increase patience and help you make better choices. 
  10. Working with God to develop patience in us, producing a calm, positive attitude and peace of mind.

Lord ~ Teach Me More Patience!

 

First Things First!

(This is from The Book I wrote)

Lord, it is extremely beneficial for me to pray and think clearly about what I value and live accordingly. I know without a doubt that it is you that I value! I must take care of my relationship with you first and then focus on my family, friends, and work. If I don’t set priorities, I can overlook the important things or run out of time to do them.

I have found that discipline that comes from you gives me the ability to do things I do not particularly want to do. You show me that doing them allows me to accomplish what I need and want to do in my life. It helps me prioritize my time remembering G.O.D., or “Good, Orderly Direction,” to focus on the essentials and not get sidetracked. 

Lord, are there areas in my life that I could better organize? Help me make the improvements I need. Most of all, I want my priorities to align with your will rather than wasting time with worldly things. I know that sometimes I won’t understand until later the purpose of what you are leading me to do today. Thank you that I can trust you and your word to light my way.

Matthew 6:33 ~ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Discipline is doing what you don’t want to do, so you can do what you want to do. ~ Jeff Fisher is a former American NFL football coach and player.
