Define it Jeremiah and Habakkuk Jeremiah 1 & 36, Habakkuk 1

Do it Patience is the hardest thing. Impatience leads to so many other sins. We rush ahead impulsively smack into foolish actions. We say what we should leave unsaid because we can’t wait to calm down or let someone else finish. Impatience is connected to selfishness. We have things we want and we bulldoze others to get to it because we cannot wait! Anyway, God is different and aren’t we glad!? Practice improves patience. If your children are impatient with an inability, help them practice until they are able—all the while teaching that patience is a fine quality to possess. If your children are impatient with waiting for something they anticipate happening, help them find something else to do. Daniel Tiger says, when you wait, you can play, sing, and imagine anything If your children are impatient with other people, remind them of something they cannot do and how they would feel for someone to push them to hurry up! Nobody likes that!

Drink it The Lord is not slow in doing what He promised – the way some people understand slowness. But God is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to be lost. He wants everyone to change his heart and life. 2 Peter 3: 9

Say it God is patient.

Pray it Dear God, thank You for being patient. Amen.

Plan it God loves and blesses us by being patient, giving everyone a chance to choose Him. So we love and bless God and others being patient with them in kindness. Others will see the love of God through us and choose to love God themselves.
