Endurance, staying power, lack of complaint, tolerance.
"The end of a matter is better than it's begining, and patience is better than pride." Ecclesiastes 7:8
There is always something that we want from God and maybe you have been waiting for the answer to what you want for a very long time, few days, a year, months maybe years. When we wait this long many times we tend to complain with God, some even threaten Him. Th bible says that God cannot be mocked. Others think because they are used to bribing situations or other people for what they want- think they can do the same with God. But No! it is not like that with Him. God works with time and does what is best for us no matter how many times we try not to think like that but it's true.
We should be on guard as to what we say with our lips especially to God. The first step today is to be patient. Today, choose to say nothing at all than to be negative and impatient with God, even with the person right next to you. Improve your relationship with God. He is not happy when you are impatient or rude to others anyway think with me; you would not want Him to be rude and impatient with you, but I am sure you want an answer. The person who just asked you something - also just needed an answer not your rudeness, negativeness or your impatience. Try to be what you would want God to be with you.
The book of 2 Corinthians 6:6 shows us that patience is one of the characteristics that help us overcome hardships.
Read: Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4
*Improve your relationship with God as you improve yourself through His help
