"Lord I want patience, and I and it right now!" It is easier to joke about patience that to become patient. You can tell that God is growing patience in you when you run into frustrating experiences; when others fail to meet you expectations; when people you depend on let you down. Most of all, you know you are learning patience when you call out to the Lord for help and he seems to be on vacation. In the face of such trials, the Bible tells us that patience is worth the wait. This Fruit of the Spirit Bible study helps you discover the benefits of waiting.
