Some people suggest that we should never pray for patience. The idea is, we will experience trials that will require us to exercise patience. Whether you have prayed for patience or not, you may be going through a traumatic time in your life. The scripture says we are blessed if we endure through tough times. God gives us strength to endure. He is faithful.

“My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.”

James 5:10,11  NKJV
