Struggling with Patience

Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Everyday I make it a point to focus on having the fruit of the Spirit. Tarsi's of being a Christian disciple. Not always easy to maintain but a requirement nonetheless.

Love.

Joy.

Peace.

Why are these the easiest? At least for me.

Kindness.

Goodness.

Faithfulness.

Gentleness.

Yes, these take a bit more work, in this cruel world, but I manage.

Patience.

Self-Control.

Here in lies the problem.

Once I loose my patience, then goes my self control.  They both fly off the handle together.

Hard to hold on and to keep on a leash. Ugh.

I am waiting and then I am begging. I am chilling and then I whiling-out. 

What scriptures do you recall when u are losing patience?

What prayer do you say to help your self-control?

Thanks for Reading, my loves!
