    About this ebook

    Many of us are impatient; the responsibilities and hardships of life seem to try our patience at every turn. And sometimes, it’s the little things that make us snap. However, scripture tells us that “God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). With those wise and hopeful words in mind, Growing in Patience presents positive, productive, and spiritual ways to deal with impatience. After all, patience must be nurtured. It is a virtue we must prayerfully ask for from God and then—by God’s grace—seek to put into practice each day.

      Growing in Patience - Lisa O Engelhardt

      Introduction

      When I was young, I thought I was a very patient person. I was open to new experiences and different personalities. I felt that I was tolerant of many situations. Then I grew up. I got a job. I got married. I had children. I grappled with illness. I lost dear relatives and friends. I gained an aging parent. In other words, life happened—maybe much like your own.

      Now, I think I may be one of the most impatient people in the world! I grumble and gripe and occasionally snap. I wonder: Did I have a certain quota of patience and it all got used up? Or can I still somehow learn to tap into that reserve of patience I once felt would never run out?

      And where is God in all of this? The Bible tells us: "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also
