As I was reading Psalm 37:34 "Don't be impatient for the Lord to act!" it made me think of the prayers that I have been waiting on for God's answer.  Sometimes we doubt that God hears us, or we feel like He doesn't answer fast enoug,h and we get discouraged.  But God's timing is always perfect.  Patience is the ability to perservere without giving up in spite of pain, troubles, or difficult circumstances without complaint.  That sounds like a tall order.  Thankfully the Holy Spirit increases our ability to be patient and kind, and we can rely on His help all the time.
