Many prayers for you David!  I have to pray for patience for myself quite a bit, lol.

This scripture helps me many times when I have trouble with patience:

Therefore, as God's choosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humiity, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which bindes them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14

Thanks y'all. Yah I was definitely not a happy camper last night.

I have found that often when we pray for patience, God gives us trials to test and increase our patience. Maybe this is just me, however. So I always try to keep an eye on my emotions, and then relate them to what is going on. Never know what God has planned!

I was once a bit more impatient than I am now. I now have a HUGE amount of patience, and am able to control my emotions greatly. Know what did that? Yeah, having 4 kids, patience really comes with that.

I'm about to head back out to work though lol.



Kids will definitely do that, even though I don't have my own I can imagine.
