Patience

I struggle with patience. I always have and probably always will. I know I've mentioned it before, but it is always worth mentioning it again. It's my attempt to help myself in areas where I'm lacking.

I had the revelation this morning that the reason I struggle with patience is my inability to let go and "Let God." I want to be in control. If I'm in control, things happen faster, right? It's hard to sit back and let Him dictate what's going to happen in my life. However, as hard as it is, it must be done. He knows what is best for me, despite my inability to trust Him all the time. If I make a better effort at patiently waiting and fully trusting, I know His plans are far better than mine.

"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him,..."

Psalm 37:7
