patience.

Lord please consume my heart with your patience.


Praying for God's will is rough, unsure of what He has planned for me is nerve-wrecking. I'm praying for patience in my friendships, life, schooling and my relationship. Patience is something that I have never fully learned. Living in America today does not help very much either. 
We want what we want (or think we need), when we want it and most of the time it is "right now". I am trying to break that "right now" attitude and wait on God. His timing is perfect, and hasn't let me down yet. He has everything planned, and I am freaking out over the most petty things. I need to step back and understand that He has the best plan for my life, and I can do nothing to avert that. Please pray for me, as I am taking this journey in learning patience. This is incredibly tough, and sometimes I want to give up and do what my flesh tells me. I know this is not a very wise choice, I know that when I wait it will only be ten times better, and I will be ready for what is thrown at me.
Praying for an outcome in a relationship, is tough, but I'm willing to endure these few days, weeks or months for the outcome that my God has in store for us.

Its also 2 am,  I've been running on my Bible and journal for at least the last hour and a half, I have written over six pages of prayer in my journal, this is how important this is to me. 

I'm asking you, my friend to pray for me, that I will receive the Lord's patience and understand that "good things come to those that wait."
