The more Bible quotes about patience I read and work through, the more I realize the root cause of impatience is pride–I lack humility. This verse even challenged me on how I close doors or set down my purse when struggling with impatience.

In Bible verses about patience, Romans 12:12 sums it all up with some key words: joy/hope, patient/affiliation, faithful/prayer. These groups of words, these attitudes of the heart and mind, are the keys to patience.

Reading Romans 8, “”But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” I draw a conclusion between whose will we are seeking and how we wait–patiently or impatiently.
