| I'm a stupid manFor a long time now I have been asking God for things. One in particular I sort of realized the error of my ways. I have been asking him for patience. We are not called to ask Jesus for these things but in a sense work at it ourselves. Jesus doesn't just do everything for us. We shouldn't cop out and let him do all the work. That is where many people have it wrong when it comes to God. You have to work at it. Faith without works is dead and I beleive that.
Basically I have been hit with so many situations testing my patience. I do not have much of it, but I pretty much have been bottling it up inside; all that frustration. I realized that I have to work at this and try on my own, but with God's help of course. But, I can not rely on him to run this race for me. He will be there egging me on but he will not be the will power inside of me making me go on unwillfully. This is a huge thing to grasp and I think God has been revealing these aspects of his love and thought to me recently.
Pray for me, that I may not become so selfish and bitter that I would give up and just ask God to do it all for me.
