2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
James 1:2-4
Patience is a thing I have always been short on, and always prayed for more of. The Lord regularly provides opportunities for me to be patient, and sometimes I am. Each time though, I lean on my faith in God, which makes the next test a little less painful and a little more fruitful.
