Patience is faith with a clock running.

Anyone can trust God in a week where nothing is pending. Patience is what that trust looks like when the answer is late and you can feel every hour of it. Waiting is not an interruption of faith, it is where faith stops being an idea and becomes something you are doing. That is why it costs so much, and why it counts for so much.

Name the thing you are waiting on right now. The reply, the result, the healing, the decision that is not yours to make. Decide how you will live tomorrow if it still has not come, then live that way without checking every twenty minutes.
