Luke 21:19
Praying for patience can be scary, because it usually delivers a situation where we need to be patient, and that's hard. Nevertheless, I like this advice... to make patience a way of life, and a part of our spiritual practice.
I wonder how different our lives would be with the addition of a talent for patience. At least in mine, I think that a good dose of patience would solve a *lot* of problems, forcing me to think things out a little more and eliminating my tendency to say things that I don't really believe because I speak before I think it through. Likely, some patience could improve all of our lives.
Today, let's take Christ's advice and work on building up a talent for patience. I think our lives will become a lot cooler and calmer as a side effect of working that into our talent mastery. :)
