I hear all this about patience, getting into a better situation, or waiting to get out of a bad one.But I'm not a fan of patience.When most people go back to work on Monday,do you think 99% ofthem "can't wait" for Friday to come again?When someone is getting a dental procedure,do you think they "can't wait" until it's over, or do they wish it would last longer because they're" patient?"Or the same if you're waiting for a good thing,and it's a long ways in the future,and the time seems to be dragging?You would have to be a masochist to hope the time keeps dragging, and doesn't speed up.Come on. It's easy for others not in the situation to pass judgement on those who are.As for,"It will happen in Gods time", remember, God is up there in Heaven ,while you're the one down here dealing with the bad situation,which is dragging on.So I'm no fan of patience.But if you guys, while getting a root canal, hope the session takes 3 hours instead of one,because you're " "patient", be my guest.As for me, I've had enough "waiting" for things,I would like to speed things up if they're to my benefit.Amen.

Steven, it sounds like you are trying to teach others not to follow the teachings found in the Bible. I must warn you that if that is what you are doing willingly or not that you are going to find out in a very hard way that you are fighting with God and that God ALWAYS wins! If you don't want to be patient why get on here to try to teach others not to be patient? Especially if all you are doing is giving your very own self more and more exercises to learn patience? If you belong to Jesus that is what you are doing, isn't it?
You don't even truly understand being alone for even when you think you are alone you aren't for you have a cat to keep you company. It's a shame that you ever could think you are alone for you always have Jesus with you even when you disobey Him by not desiring to be patient or even to learn His patience which is quite wonderful my friend. For those of us who honor Jesus in all of His teachings without murmur or complaint we have His Promises that teach us we are healed by His stripes and we may not ever even enjoy the meaning of a root canal Steven. We count our pains as joy, claim we are healed and pains leave us but you can hold onto your love for not being patient if you like. Me, I give even the thought to not be patient up for Jesus and I take on His patience which honestly brings me nothing to even be patient about in Jesus my friend.
By the way God is not just in Heaven for He fills Heaven and Earth my friend
It's a shame everyone doesn't see Jesus in everything, a real shame.

But do you think it's wise to try to teach others to disobey the teachings of Jesus found in the Bible that you yourself constantly lift up?
I'm not trying to make you feel bad unless it leads you to repentance! I'm not trying to tell you to lie either but there are many times when we can remain silent for our very own selves not to have to suffer!
We can always repent and turn from our very own selves unto Jesus and take on His thoughts and ways for our lives

Dear Lord,
We are sorry that sometimes we are not more patient with each other. Please help us in this area so that we can love one another the way You want us to. For love is patient. We pray for husbands and wives who are not patient with each other. Lord, give them patience.
In Jesus name...
I tend to lose my patience in the classroom. Students ask the same questions back to back and sometimes I catch myself stressed out and talking to God asking him to give it too me.
