So often when we get frustrated at life (whether it be at how our family members behave, traffic jams, or our computer not working as it should) we grind out teeth and proclaim, "Lord, give me patience with this (insert problem here.)" What we do not stop to ponder is that God, in order that we might learn patience and refine our character, places each of us in positions that are frustrating and trying, just so that we might learn to be patient! The next time you are frustrated at the slow checker at the grocery store, or the elderly driver in front of you...don't let frustration overtake you but slow down, take a deep breath and say, "Lord, thank you for giving me this chance to learn to be patient."
