"It is a precious gift to have the gift of patience."

 
  
“It is a precious gift to have the gift of patience.”
 
“We must have patience in order to withstand pain and grief without complaint or discouragement, which detract from the Spirit. It’s necessary to have patience in the face of tribulation and persecution for the cause of truth, which sets an example because the manner in which we bear our cross will be an influence to others to help lighten their load.”
 
Angel Abrea
 
 
Be as patient with others as God has been with you.
 
 
God has perfect timing; never early, never late. It takes a little patience and it takes a lot of faith but it's worth the wait.
 
As He has said, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee”.So, may we always remember that He who has known and loved us longer and much greater than anyone else has had a plan for our eternal joy in mind even before our birth! Trust and lean on Him. … “You may not be able to see a path right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.”
 
 
More patience, less reaction.
 
In my life I have learned that sometimes I do not receive an answer to a prayer because the Lord knows I am not ready. When He does answer, it is often "here a little and there a little" because that is all that I can hear or all I am willing to do.
 
Robert D. Hales
 
“Patience is learning to hide your impatience.”
 
Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.
 
“Each day we decide the degree of our discipleship. Each day we answer the question, ‘Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?'”
 
Neal A. Maxwell
 
 
“Knowledge is the handmaid of intelligence and priceless beyond words.”
 
Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once THOUGHT you couldn’t.
 
 
“During difficult experiences often filled with pain and suffering Character is Built, Hearts are Purified and Souls are Enlarged, as individuals gain experience and spiritual tutoring.”
 
David A. Bednar
 
“We will have genuine joy and happiness only as we learn patience.”
 
“You…are everything; you are why the heavens were created.”
