It’s probably better to ask the Lord for wisdom than patience. For wisdom will enable us to remain calm…employing Godly discipline, self-control, and discretion rather than flying off the handle in a huff. Wisdom will also allow us to forgive rather than take offense at every little insult. So, patience requires wisdom to forgive without a spoken word…a deep breath and then a release of the self-perceived slight…for our good and His glory.
