Patience.

I have found myself to be very impatient lately. A lot more than usual. I'm not sure what it is, but something has just not been right. This weekend was not a good weekend for me on the account of I was snappy and just in an angry mood. I feel like this weekend was just a bit of a disaster. I need to regroup and focus on what's most important with life. I have found some Bible verses to be helpful in my time of impatience that I'll share with you.

Psalm 37:7-9
Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper—it only leads to harm. For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

Romans 8:24-25
We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
—Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32
