Patience is a virtue.

My child, though you may plan all things and arrange everything with the greatest care,

you will still have many opportunities to exercise the virtue of patience.

You cannot eliminate the unexpected, the unforeseen, and the unavoidable.

In many cases your best remedy and weapon will be an intelligent patience 

with yourself as well as others.

Every man has his daily share of troubles and trials. 

Sometimes it may be bodily pain and discomfort.

At other times it may be mental or spiritual suffering, 

some annoyance, disappointment, or anxiety.

Sometimes you may feel that I have deserted you. 

Then again, you may have to bear misunderstandings, misinterpretations,

or even bad from your neighbor. 

In fact, there are times when you are a burden and a bother to yourself.

Everybody would like to be free of these trials, but it cannot be.

They are a part of your earthly life. 

Wherever you turn, you will always find My cross in one form or another.

Patience will help you to bear it more easily.

This virtue will help you keep your soul at peace,

so that you may continue to walk toward Heaven in time of trials.

An excerpt from My Daily Bread.

I prayed for some relief and answers to the trials that are ongoing and after the prayer, I found this passage. It's inspiring and enlightening, much comfort to my woes. And now I know for sure I'm not forsaken. In haste this broken heart will not heal. In haste I will not gain back security or the stable ground I'm desperately searching for. In patience, I will find it, or build it. And with love, I hope we'll make it through.
