Not easy being corrected from a parent let alone God himself ? Take it from me brother, I was always complaining to God until I became miserable and then the trails increased  no fair !   In my opinion, maybe take a quiet moment with God to reflect what is missing in your life or NEEDED?  Love & Blessings Sis Agape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not scripture, but two quotes. Â "Hope is patience with the lamp lit", (I think is was Tertullian) and "Patience is not in the waiting, it is how we wait" (Martin Luther) Â How we wait? The lamp lit? Â We keep the lamp lit by reading His Word, meditating on His Word. praying to Him. Spend at least 30 minutes a day reading His word, and then think about what you read, and how you can apply it to your life. Â The reading and meditating alone produce patience, the knowledge you gain from the Word will mature into wisdom, and then patience comes naturally. Â So it's a process, not a single scripture to follow. it's all of scripture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Instead, I pray for grace. Â And when people are involved, I pray for God's love for them to flood my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
