Patience - good-natured tolerance of delay or incompetence. This is a virtue that comes from God, hence the constant need to ask Him for it - "God, please give me Patience!" What's not understood, is asking for Patience requires a situation(s) for Patience to be practiced. Why continue to ask to practice Patience when you can Master it by giving those situation(s) to Whom controls it all anyway. Looked upon from this angle, you may readjust your belief in needing Patience and place the situation (of which your asking Patience for) in God's hands.
Although Patience is a tool used to deal or cope with an uncomfortable situation, please understand it is not THE solution to the situation. The situation(s) is not the problem either, not placing it in the hands of God however is. God is the solution to ANY/ALL uncomfortable situations and tools used to tolerate the situation prolong the eventual outcome which you control. Either you continue to do the same thing expecting a different result (called INSANITY) and wonder when you'll catch break or you try what may seem difficult (by your strength) and trust God with it.
Patience comes from God because He waits for you to allow the Holy Spirit to uncover your eyes and open your heart by letting (it all) go. Patience isn't God's tool because He doesn't need it, you on the other hand do, as long as you continue to ask for it! Do not continue to suffer, recognize the Power of God in you and be free from needing to continue to ask for Patience.
When you stop asking for Patience and give over to God all your worries and concerns, in exchange, you will be given Peace of mind which is like no other because there is no other. Peace comes with Joy, and Joy not only "comes in the morning", Joy comes the instant you're ready to accept it. Be sure to not confuse Happiness with Joy - Happiness is fleeting, because Joy is of God, it's forever - you choose. Peace
