What ...Oh, I need patience and I want it right now! What is that old saying? "If we pray for patience God will send us trials so that we will learn patience." There is a lot of truth to that, I think. Barbara, I appreciate the way you defined patience as fortitude and the connection you made to trust. We cannot be patient without trust and I think that's a link that is often overlooked. Thank you for this inspiring message.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252084490880411240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363013821330956678.post-60965804012727991282019-05-28T08:13:15.914-04:002019-05-28T08:13:15.914-04:00Jeanne, I love what you said about patience is tru...Jeanne, I love what you said about patience is trusting God when we can't see what's ahead.

And His timing is right. So often we think we are waiting for God...sometimes God is waiting for us. He is accomplishing things in us and around us that are dependent on more than our patience. Our character. People around us. Circumstances. Like every detail in the Bible and it happening at the moment God ordained.

Waiting for God to answer our prayers can be difficult but it's a blessing to think of it as joyful expectancy of receiving His answer.

Isn't it funny, how when we ask God to grow us, He places us in situations designed to do exactly that. "Doing = Growing" God's blessings; and thank you for this great post Ms. Barbara.J.D.
