"Perhaps our greatest daily temptation is to be impatient — to refuse to suffer.
 Perhaps my greatest daily sin is to refuse to suffer — to refuse to take up the cross of Christ.
 Perhaps my greatest sin is refusing to wait on God’s ways — but to want my own will done — now. 
 Patience is a surrendering to suffering — a willingness to wait — a carrying of the Cross."  Ann Voskamp


Do you think we have any idea what we're asking for when we pray for patience?

Isn't it the breaking down of what we want, when we want it....of having to live in a way that is uncomfortable....choosing that, not rejecting it?

Being OK with those moments that don't feel good...even embracing them?

This world will continue to move in ways that are not our choosing.  What will we do with that?  Will our response look different to those that are watching?
