patience

Lord,

I need patience. Patience to deal with people whom I easily get frustrated with and annoyed at. Patience to show them the love that You have for them, and to respond to them in a way that You would respond. 
This period of singlehood; there's much for me to think about. It's been a good time to take a step back and ponder over things, over myself, my future, and my future relationship. It's been a good time to realign my life to Your will. 
Teach me? I know that You've placed certain people in my life, and placed me in certain situations where You constantly challenge me to respond in love, and I've been failing miserably. 
Oh my goodness. Help me Lord.
