Mosiah 23:21
21Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to achasten his people; yea, he trieth their bpatience and their faith.
We as human beings tend to want everything right now and despite the consequences are usually willing to try and satisfy our desires immediately and if we don't get what we want right away we will throw a fit and give up. In order to be successful in this life and achieve Eternal Life in the world to come, we need to develop the Heavenly attribute of patience. Through life we have many struggles and in order to get through them we must have patience and faith, knowing that as we continue in our journey everything will work out for the best as we do what we need to. We need patience as we develop our talents and try to become better servants of our Heavenly Father. We need patience with ourselves as we try to overcome our weaknesses. We also need to have patience with other people as we try to become like our Savior Jesus Christ. We also need it as we wait for answers to our prayers from our Father in Heaven, we must remember he answers prayers in his own way and in his own time, that is always best for us. Patience is one thing that is necessary for success.
We can develop this attribute as we come to understand WHY it is we need to be patient. Knowing that we can return to live with our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and our families after this life if we are faithful, helps put everything into perspective. When we understand this and have this goal on the forefront of our minds it will make being patient easy! The video below says it best!
