not a patient person. I used to pray for patience all the time. First, God gave me my husband who requires a lot of patience. I still didn't learn and kept praying so God gave me my daughter, who requires more than my husband. Finally, one day I learned that God does not give patience to us, he gives us lessons to teach us patience, so I stopped praying for patience and tried to learn the lessons. This is one of the. It is still not my strong suit but I am doing better.
